Hebrew in Motion

there's a lot of motion-typography out there (a least on youtube) and it's pretty refreshing to see some in Hebrew. i found a lot of student work from two Israeli design schools (Shenkar and Bezalel). i personally like these three:

Fortis/At Lo Tova Elay (you're no good to me)

I love Rami Fortis (awesome israeli musician for the past 30 years). I thinks this does a good job with the "vibe" of the song. the animation has a good beat, usage of a variety of fonts, although a few are quite "weird" (ugly), i see how mixing the fonts together portrays some "Punkiness" which Fortis has so much of.

The Apples/Ze Ra'ayon Tov (thats a good idea)

Again, The Apples - awesome Israeli band. I like the use of an older-looking font, to mach the sample of an old record in the song. I believe the main font is Palestina, Oded Ezer's typeface for Hagilda.


Hachamishia Hakamerit/Bo (come on)

One of my favorite skits from the Israeli comedy tv show Hachamishia Hakamerit, in which different army officers regurgitate different familier speeches calling on men to join the army. Nice emphasis on different font and color for each voice, which leads to the chaos of type and sound (and message).
