I had to teach myself kinetic typography, but I learned how to use the programs to make it through Full Sail University.

Great job, I would recommend finding a higher quality font for your next typography endeavor.

Helvetica is a high quality font.

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

This was pretty awesome, man.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

It was great! I retracted my statement from before, sorry about that. I thought you had created the speech!

Soffish for everyone!

Art and Halo = my life... pretty much.

the ending is often done in kinetic type, though it is often "cool" it isn't always graphically appealing (though there are definitely ways to pull it off) Many people kinetic type design to the swiss grid, it makes the movements much more fluid, I liked a few things you did within the compositions including "years turns to decades". To make the ending more fluid I had a few suggestions I hope you will consider:

For starters, the type face you chose is ridiculously disconnected from the "Halo logo" and the feel of the voice, something with a few different weights for emphasis (there are a few other also a sans serif like Univers of something that would fit better).
For the entire transition, I would have all the text blur into one blurry halo logo THEN you can reduce opacity on the blur as you alpha in the halo logo.
I did like the clever fad to black in the end and you should consider doing transitions like that even between letters.

Also for the entire composition: the blur out after each word seriously cuts out the meaning of his words, I'd recommend a full blur after each sentence instead.

Edit: gosh I just re-read all of that and I want you to know:
I DON'T MEAN TO COME OFF AS PRETENTIOUS and wish for you to take this as helpful criticism :D I do think that the overall concept and most of the queues and execution are amazing, I just have designers OCD and those few things where bothering me <3 You clearly have talent especially for someone self taught

I'm used to seeing that type of video used with sermons, but you did an amazing job.

thanks. I forgot to mention that this was the first time I've made one of these things. Since then, I've actually improved the video far more. I'll put it up sooner or later when I am done with it.

Also, I forgot that I posted a link to it here. :P
