“Feeling Good”
December 4, 2007 11:13 am


SVA student Tamara Gildengers Connolly used type characters to create this music video for Nina Simone singing “Feeling Good.” Using type in this manner seems to be a fairly typical assignment in motion graphics and design classes, but the results manage to impress in this piece.

That is SO cool. Somebody should hire this woman to animate the credits on a major motion picture.

Rob T., that’s exactly what I thought. It looked like one of the coolest openings to a movie I’d ever seen. If I was working on a movie I’d hire this girl immediately! I had never heard the song either and I’m immediately looking it up and adding it to my ipod’s playlist!

Thanks for sharing Amid!

The song is from the 1960’s broadway play “The Roar of the Grease Paint, The Smell of the Crowd”.

Pretty awesome. Bob Winquist would go right to it, and that’s a big compliment.

It’s great, I love it. Here’s some notes.

Get rid of all the unnecessary type and add some god rays and color for some production value.

The tune-in marketing version has to be worked in as well as a web driver and sponsor billboard.

we need to add a talent mondo shot and we must use the package type face.

We have to run it by legal to see what they have to say about it. . .
