Kinetic typography—the technical name for "moving text"—is an animation technique mixing motion and text to express ideas using video animation. This text is presented over time in a manner intended to convey or evoke a particular idea or emotion.
History
With the advent of film and graphic animation, the possibility of matching text and motion emerged. Examples of animated letter-forms appeared as early as 1899 in the advertising work of George Melies. Early feature films contained temporal typography, but this was largely static text, presented sequentially and subjected to cinematic transitions. It was not until the 1960s when opening titles began to feature typography that was truly kinetic. Scholars recognize the first feature film to extensively use kinetic typography as Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959). This film's opening title sequence—created by Saul Bass—contained animated text, featuring credits that "flew" in from off-screen, and finally faded out into the film itself. A similar technique was also employed by Bass in Psycho (1960).
Kinetic is a melodic death/thrash metal band that started in 2002 in Greece. Its members have participated in other bands from the Greek underground scene such as Acid Death, Wisdom, and Brain Fade. Personal influences coming from, for instance, death, power, progressive and thrash metal.
Biography
Their first recording was a self-released mini Promo CD containing three tracks and entitled with the band name. The initial reviews and feedback of the band’s material were positive. In the beginning of 2004, Sleaszy Rider Records, a small independent label from Greece, gave them a record deal.
The band started record its 1st full length in February 2004 and finished in August having more than 500 hours in studio. The result of this enormous amount of work was "The Chains That Bind Us"full-length CD, released on 15 November/2004. Including 11 compositions and a video-clip for "Never Ending Winter" song -re-recorded and re-mastered from its initial form in the mini CD, this full album displays the band's progress.
The series focused on Tom Morell, a high school boy suffering from a combination of medical conditions such as hemophilia, diabetes, muscular dystrophy and others. His life at school is characterized by constant mockery and abuse, and his home life consists of his highly protective mother who fears that he could die at any moment. As an escape from his normal life, Tom immerses himself in the adventures of his favorite comic book superhero, Kinetic. However, Tom suddenly manifests his own superpowers. The majority of the story focuses on his reactions to this sudden change and its dramatic effects on his life.
Creative Technology Ltd. is a Singapore-based global company headquartered in Jurong East, Singapore. The principal activities of the company and its subsidiaries consist of the design, manufacture and distribution of digitized sound and video boards, computers and related multimedia, and personal digital entertainment products.
It also partners with mainboard manufacturers and laptop brands to embed its Sound Blaster technology on their products.
History
The firm began as a computer repair shop, where Sim Wong Hoo developed an add-on memory board for the Apple II computer. Later, they started creating customized PCs adapted in Chinese. A part of this design included enhanced audio capabilities, so that the device could produce speech and melodies. The success of this audio interface led to the development of a standalone sound card.
In 1987, they released a 12-voice sound generator sound card for the IBM PC architecture, the Creative Music System (C/MS), featuring two Philips SAA1099 chips. Sim personally went from Singapore to Silicon Valley and managed to get RadioShack's Tandy division to market the product. The card was, however, unsuccessful and lost to AdLib. Learning from this, Creative produced the first Sound Blaster, which included the prior CM/S hardware but also incorporated the Yamaha YM3812 chip (also known as OPL2) that was found on the AdLib card, as well as adding a component for playing and recording digital samples. The firm used aggressive marketing strategies, from calling the card a "stereo" component (only the C/MS chips were capable of stereo, not the complete product) to calling the sound producing micro-controller a "DSP" (for "digital sound processor"), hoping to associate the product with a digital signal processor (the DSP could encode/decode ADPCM realtime, but otherwise had no other DSP-like qualities).
"Creative" was released in November 2008 as the third single from Leon Jackson's debut album Right Now. To promote the track Jackson appeared on the official BBC Children in Need 2008 show performing the song as an "exclusive" as this was the first time Jackson had performed the track. The song went onto debut at number 94 on the UK Singles Charts.
Release and promotion
The song was released in November 2008 as a digital download only through Syco and Sony BMG. To promote the song, Jackson appeared on the 2008 series of Children in Need where he performed the song in London.
Music video
The music video for "Creative" shows Jackson performing the song in front of a big band. Also, in the video Jackson is trying to impress a female which features in the video. Throughout the video the female does not pay much attention to Jackson but however towards the end of the video the female seems to pay slight attention to Jackson.
Creative is a sassy, rumba-rhythmed number where Leon soars above, hinting at his prowess in the boudoir, this is easily the most memorable original track here.

Processing-Tutorial: Kinetic Typography 1
In the last years i’ve observed a new tendency in typography and graphic design which has been made possible by the rise of affordable animation-software like Adobe After Effects, variable fonts and more accessible tools in Creative Coding: Kinetic Typography is the new kid in town, an umbrella term for moving, flexible typographic systems.
Some good examples: The whole work by DIA studio and the crazy cool AR-app “Weird Type” by Zach Lieberman.
In this tutorial i wanna show you a fancy approach on animating type. Our application will segment a simple lettering into rectangular pieces and shift each snippet slightly different on the horizontal axis. To do so, we will utilize a two-dimensional grid and put a sine-wave into it. Ready? Let’s go!

Kinetic typography—the technical name for "moving text"—is an animation technique mixing motion and text to express ideas using video animation. This text is presented over time in a manner intended to convey or evoke a particular idea or emotion.
History
With the advent of film and graphic animation, the possibility of matching text and motion emerged. Examples of animated letter-forms appeared as early as 1899 in the advertising work of George Melies. Early feature films contained temporal typography, but this was largely static text, presented sequentially and subjected to cinematic transitions. It was not until the 1960s when opening titles began to feature typography that was truly kinetic. Scholars recognize the first feature film to extensively use kinetic typography as Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959). This film's opening title sequence—created by Saul Bass—contained animated text, featuring credits that "flew" in from off-screen, and finally faded out into the film itself. A similar technique was also employed by Bass in Psycho (1960).
