This awesome video by Andreas Heikaus highlights a technique called matchmoving, where CG and live action footage are seamlessly merged to form one fluid video. In this case, he has mapped the enter game of the original Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System onto a sidewalk.

Can we say awesome? Check out the video after the cut.

I love the idea of animated type. For me, it goes back to growing up with Saturday morning cartoons; however, I’ve always loved watching the introductory credits to movies…especially when they involve motion typography (or in some cases kinetic typography) just to make them interesting. Think James Bond films. Yeah, you get the idea. Here are 20 recent finds I’ve found that are some fun implementations of both motion typography and kinetic typography. Some of them are set to music and poetry, some of them are set to spoken words or announcements. They’re from all over the world and some of them aren’t in English, but they’re still cool! Enjoy them all – they’re after the cut.
