I watched it a number of times. Fast pace helped keep our attention throughout the segment. I found the text a little hard to read (maybe my old eyes or the settings on my monitor). I was thinking that a border or shadow on text would help it stand out from the background but with the VO reinforcing the text I didn't have any trouble following along. Once agagin great job!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/typography-test-please-comment-critique#post-65340 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 15:00:46 +0000 Moab Man 65340@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>At first I had the same thought - it's too fast - but too fast was effective on me because you had my full attention as I tried to keep up.</p> <p>Guess it's a double edged sword. Some will dismiss it because it's too fast while others will be drawn in for the same reason.</p> <p>Just curious, what software did you use? </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/typography-test-please-comment-critique#post-65333 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 05:44:42 +0000 Corey 65333@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks everyone.
