Know your type: Futura

A typeface I have an odd relationships with.

06/17/09

I’ve always been a big fan of Futura. I most-recently used it for the titling of the Joy video. For me though, one of the bizarre things about the typeface is that I have to use it by “feel.” I’m not sure I really know how to describe it other than to say there are times it is absolutely perfect for a project, and there are times it makes my skin crawl when I try to force it into something. I can’t think of another popular typeface that gives me this sort of love/hate feeling in practice.

Making the Joy Video

Crafting a live music video sans budget.

06/02/09

Earlier this year, my friend Andrew Hyde and I worked on a video for the band, The Autumn Film. Before going further, check out the video. In this post, I’ll go over some of the behind the scenes: a making of, of sorts.

A Video by The Autumn Film

04/20/09

I’m super-excited to be able to post this video to my blog. I directed/edited it and, along with my buddy Andrew Hyde, shot the footage.

I’ll have a post later this week that goes into much more detail on how we made the video, but for now, just give it a watch and enjoy it.

The singer is Tifah from the band, The Autumn Film. The song is an old public-domain song that she rewrote and added a bridge to. We shot it in her living room with bandmate Dann Stockton recording sound.

Free Music
As they’ve been known to do, the band is giving this video away for free, along with an audio track of the song and two other brand new songs. You can download it (and 8 other songs of there’s) at theautumnfilm.com/share.

If you enjoy it, tell your friends. That’s the whole point.
