Light Typography

Again, a video using environmental type. I'm not a particular fan of the typeface, but it's worth watching for the moment at the end when the candles get lighted. It looks amazing. There are a few videos like this on youtube from students at Estudamos Design Gráfico no IPCA, Barcelos, Portugal. I think it is is response to a brief set there. I liked some of the other films, but wonder if they were restricted in their choice of fonts, because some seem to fit the words and some don't. For example, in the film on the theme of "Work", the word is spelled out on a concrete floor, with nails, but in the same font as "Luz". I would have chosen that one as my favourite if maybe they had used a really heavy slab serif, or a heavy weight of something like Univers, but the font just doesn't fit the thought of "Work". Still, they are all pretty inspirational videos.

At the moment I am working on my last project of the year (aw!) which is a film using environmental typography. I am still storyboarding it at the moment but have started experimenting a little with recording things aswell. Anyways, if mine is ever a fraction as good as this then I will be very happy indeed. There is more information on this project here
