Kinetic Typography Music Video: Tramp 

Intriguing animated typography of the Blues Rock song Tramp by Lowell Fulson. 

As typical for this recent genre of music video, it utilises kinetic typography or moving text and other graphic elements to illustrate the lyrics and sounds of a song in a fresh creative manner.

My only objection with this video is not being longer.

The State of Visual Effects in Movies: ‘Game of Thrones’ 

Good example of state-of-the-art CGI (computer generated imagery) in the film industry: HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ created by BlueBolt. These simulated monumental castles, medieval towns and epic winter landscapes demonstrate once again: CGI is the matte painting of the digital age.
