Typophile Film Festival Opening Titles

Posted by laurazic on September 25th, 2009

“Handcrafted with love by BYU design students and faculty, for the 5th Typophile Film Festival. A visual typographic feast about the five senses, and how they contribute to and enhance our creativity. Everything in the film is real—no CG effects!

Shot with a RED One, a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, a Canon EOS 40D, and a Nikon D80.
Stop motion created with Dragon Stop Motion.”

Hard to believe that this is just the promo or “opening titles” for this Film Festival! I can’t imagine the films that would surpass this video! 

Truly inspiring. Fascinating. Excellent!
