::Typophile Film Festival Opening Credits By Cole Nielsen::

This was a product meant for the Typophile Film Festival. It opened up the show!

The company that funded this was Typophile, and it was created by Cole Nielsen, a student at Brigham Young University.

I believe the demographic of this piece is creative individuals who appreciate type. This is probably an older audience with background in typography and film.

The tone of this piece is inspiration. They creatively use all sorts of type to tell an individuals life story. I felt like I developed a relationship with the subject eventhough you never see him. It's an incredible approach of demonstrating all sorts of type. 

There were lots of illustration, stop motion, and motion graphics involved. It looks like they cut up a lot of photos and moved them around. There were many parts where multiple layers were super imposed on top of each other.

This piece is memorable because I think its just brilliant. With the use of type he clearly goes through every stage of life. It is perfect for this film festival.

I think the success of this piece is based off the compatibility with the film festival. Which turns out to be extremely successful.

There is nothing being sold, just a short film that is quite messed up.

It was created by Chia-Chien Mai, a student at the School of Visual Arts.

I think the demographic for this short are teens. It takes you into a world of adolesecent problems.

I think a big draw in for this short is the aesthetic. It is very different. I was attracted to it because of the strange characters and odd settings.

It seems like some creative means of expression were 3d animation, motion graphics, and maybe even some stop action animation. 

It is memorable because it is so effed up. That's is why I enjoyed watching it and now that aesthetic is stuck in my head.
