This video, Pulp Fiction in Typography, is a really cool way to show what can be accomplished with type, even though it's not directly related to the subject.

I love that one. It was the first one I ever used in a presentation.

Funny thing was, even though 2 out of 20 had never taken a type class, they had ALL seen it!

At 32 I guess I'm too old to keep up with this whole "cool" game.

This is a school project I did last semester. We could only use black and white type...

Not sure how many people actually get this channel, but AMC (American movie classics) has great ads for it's movies done completely in type, usually using famous movie quotes (in H&FJ's Ziggurat).

Not the best example, as they've gotten better since:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3BVl6i6BOAo

Not sure if this is real or not, but it is also 'for AMC'. This one is more type driven. Might not be something you would show in a classroom though.

I know they aren't exactly videos but I have always liked these:

Good stuff folks. Keep it coming.

I hope that this course is not going to just be watching videos. The best way to teach typography is to have students render type. Only by drawing the characters will they see the subtle differences and begin to understand them.

(Your course will be less fun, but better learning.)

These are simply little video clips to kick off a class for 18-24 year old 1st-2nd year design students. Nothing serious, just a little fun.

Christoper, I saw that yesterday as well. I think it deserves it's own post. I was in tears as well, especially with the added irony of Comic Sans being the hero.

He also owns an animation company. This is an animation that introduces one of his font designs.

Is that the actual video or just another weak “look at me! I just discovered After Effects!” student project? If the Stones have sunk that low for video’s, this is a sad day indeed.

That, and the entire thing reeks of Bob Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues.

Even the melody. Disappointing.

I don't know for sure if the immortal ones commissioned the work or even gave it their Stones seal of approval ...or if it was simply commissioned by Universal ...or what.

There seems to be a homogeneity to the type(s) seen and used with the collection of memories n'stuff of the video set.

Is that Bookman Swash featured on a bag at 3:05?

This video seems to be about typefaces from a bygone era ...where are we now?

I think that's Bjork featured in the teddy bear's other head ...maybe.

Is that Bookman Swash featured on a bag at 3:05? = Yes

And it’s certainly not about typefaces, I’ll have to give it a few more views and do a little background but I’m pretty confident its referring to where we are regarding social and political contexts, the video footage on the screen behind them is most likely from a specific movement and I’d hazard a guess that his silent partner is a figure that is a clue to the context. She has to be important on a level other that musical artist given that she doesn’t sing.

Initial reaction with no research makes me feel “where are we now?” is a general declaration of S’s Fd up and we haven’t made any progress, in fact quite the opposite.

Thanks for the post. A great addition.

Np bro , rock on, glad to contribute.

For me it's that crystal skull which I think really interesting. Featured bold up front at the beginning and then sits isolated down on the floor/stage to the left of the double teddy bear throughout the video.
