While reworking my After Effects project & brainstorming for my Flash project, I decided to look at some official lyric videos with a good typography & rhythm for inspiration. The first from one of my favorite bands, Muse, off of their new album, & the second I found from a youtube search.
Muse's Madness does a great job during the recurring "M-m-m-m-m-m-m mad-mad-mad" concisely visualizing the rhythm. I think that's really what makes it effective--the conciseness of that visual rhythm with its aural counterpart.
Calvin Harris' Drinking from the Bottle is a bit more involved than the Muse example. It works with a more constant beat, but I found the geometric details really exciting.
This is my second iteration of the project. I was able to give a more concise rhythm by adding small pauses between before & after stressed beats & making the "ti-ti" eighth notes clearer.
I still feel as though there are changes I want to make. First off, the alignment of the letters; they're a little more raised than I'd like, but that's just a minor detail. It still feels as though it's missing something. I may add another measure or two & introduce a subtle background beat underneath this one..
