Modern Man

1: Concept

Through the use of interactive typography, I plan to revisit the words of George Carlin. Such a powerful piece of speech, I believe, is a substantial body in which to devote such an endeavor to.

Today were trying to do quite a bit of everything, as described in his piece. Each piece of description, I plan to create a separate movie clip that animates the text to the characteristics of what it is saying; to the best of my abilities. In sync with the fast paced delivery of the words, I plan to have typography moving into, within and out of the frame. Shooting into the frame, stacking, growing in size, shrinking and changing colors within a limited palette; all of these will correlate with emphasis on the said words, somewhat bringing a new life to the read.

The type will be presented in capital Helvetica set type. Such a universal font will allow for concentration on the word rather than word form. The simple color palette will yield brighter, more attractive colors.

The interactivity of this project will be the viewers’ ability to choose or “build” their own “Modern Man”. Clicking on the descriptions, which the viewers relate to themselves, will create somewhat of a “show” that narrowed their own personal details.

This is a good stab at the appeal of the moving text I am going for...
