With Christmas just one week away, I’m bringing you some pure holiday entertainment. I came across this song last year after hearing it on the radio and have been in love with it ever since. Boney M is disco era super group that is going to have you singing and grooving along to the holidays this year. Merry Christmas!
Another video featuring kinetic type, I know. But this one for Eric Hutchinson’s OK It’s Alright With Me is pretty sweet. The combination of the black and white with the moving type makes for a pretty simple yet effective video. Not to mention if you didn’t know the words before watching this video it won’t be long until you’re singing along. I picked this guy up a few times on Pandora and really enjoy his music.
Eric Hutchinson – OK, It’s Alright With Me
Watching this video got me thinking about how to do this kind of thing and I remembered seeing a few really great video tutorials not that long ago over at the Envato site AETuts.com. Check out the links below; there’s a pretty basic one they put together for Linkin Park’s Bleed It Out and a three-part video series to Bruce Lee’s Be Water speach. Both excellent and easy to follow for anyone familiar with After Effects.

The good people over at Web Designer Depot put together a nice collection of Typography in Motion. As a matter of fact they put together a nice little collection of 18 different examples including a great one from Zoolander.
