A great little short film, about hand-painted type in India and the disappearance of hand-painted type.

what a great video ! I just finished a movie in which we had to create graphics to make a street in Bangalore. I wish I had watched this movie first.

Probably due more to poverty reasons and the lack of technology available to shopkeepers and the like. ?

Hmm... Actually, if its painted, its not type, its letters. Type is that metal stuff... or the digital equivalent.
I saw some other video where some designer went to india and got some business cards printed by the new digital guys they speak of. He found some dude and told him to do whatever. They were amazing.

I'm headed to India this December for the first time and I can't wait to see this kind of stuff around. All the cheap stuff by those guys who run the print shops just has no soul.
