So by now I bet you've heard (or at least heard of) actor Christian Bale's profanity-ridden tantrum on the set of this summer's Terminator Salvation.

(If you haven't, here's an AP article that'll get you up to speed: "Christian Bale goes on tirade on 'Terminator' set". I won't even link to the actual audio file, because dang it's salty!)

Anyway, I had a funny thought today. Have you ever seen any examples of kinetic typography? Where people (generally film students) use fancy computers to animate the the soundtrack from a movie or television scene?

Well I think someone should do an animation of Bale's blowup.

I looked all over YouTube this morning, but sadly couldn't find anything. I'd make one myself, but I graduated from film school 11 years ago, back when we didn't even have computer editing suites. So this stuff if obviously way beyond me.

Anyway, here are a few examples of the better kinetic typographies out there.

Parental guidance is suggested on the clip from Pulp Fiction.

Pulp Fiction (remember, it's rated R kids!):
