It was difficult to narrow down my choices for favorite use of animated typography. I chose 'Stranger Than Fiction' by MK12. The way that the type's movements are exactly in sync with Will Farrell is great. It is subtle how the type and appears and disappears from the screen which helps it to incorporate well into the video. And there is a wide variation of different techniques in which the text appears and disappears which never leads the animation to be repetitive or monotonous. I also find that the coloring of the type works well with the stark atmosphere of the opening sequence, especially against the coloring of the walls seen below. And having the animation of the graphics so complex with a wide range of movement, I think the choice of a neutral font was really suitable. The graphics are great, the tie sequence especially. It looks so natural when the white graphics light of the pattern in his tie, and its a great contrast to the few seconds before where you see the pins pop out with the numbers attached (bold vs subtle). The appearance of the fibonacci grid is great too; it works well with the theme.
