I'm a typography pro, and you didn't offend me in the least. I loved it. Everyone else might just be jealous. It's easy to criticize when you can't do it yourself.

I was curious. I thought it was wonderful. As someone who has dealt with type for their whole career (first as a typesetter, then as a typographer, and now as Final Eyes), I know it's no small matter to create a piece like this. Really fine!

They haven't caught the essense of kineticc typyoghraphy at all! It is basically like some one reading a poem without emphasis or enunciation. nice words that's it. good stuff here ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbMa4MGFCOg there was no correlation between the choice of typography and what was actually being said.

Mine isn't quite as sophisticated as Ronnie's, but if you are curious, it's on Vimeo as well: http://www.vimeo.com/7746382 I was really amused when Matias played this for several reasons; when I was in college I actually saw Taylor Mali perform live (which was brilliant), and then later I did a similar video exercise with one of his poems!

What I said (or meant to say) was that the overall brilliance of the video made me forgive the one small oversight. If I had finaleyesed it, I would never have let it go; he would have fixed it; and it would have been a non-issue. Which it should be considering how fabulous the piece was in its entirety. How funny that you liked the message more than the execution. If I had to say which I preferred, it would be really difficult. For me, they worked together like hip on hop. Cool that you're as persnickety about the apostrophe as I am. Most people don't give a damn. Please don’t misunderstand me.

Hey, it's the first time I've ever forgiven that oversight. Sometimes you're hip enough—and brilliant enough—not to have to.
