they are both fine examples in unrestrained use of type.

If the web is too small of a place, you should go outside and get some fresh air.

Actually... this is where the style is derived and inspired from.
- yeh but that's not been ripped off. its not the same as 2 similar sites with vertically scrolling text with narration.Hombre_Lobo
- but you never said it was being ripped off either. agree though, that was VERY popular. kinetic typography.Hombre_Lobo

thats a shocking rip.
the dude who did (what i think) is the original is a QBNer, he even posted it in the work thread. unlucky.

It's a rip, though not as shocking as the previous rip posted on QBN (with the symbols, in the very exact same place).
In this case, I'd be flattered, its harder getting away with something thats "2nd" to copy something outright.

you've gotta out the rippers, otherwise they'll go unnoticedHombre_Lobo

rippers do shit work 90% of the time, so they eventually out themselves.

that first site is dope

the OP did the first site, yeah?

Well i guess the basic idea is ripped and then some more.
But still in a way its just a technique i guess.First one is much better executed although must suck for designers who worked on this knowing that they were copying a better site.

have they changed it? I'm seeing two very different sites.....

^agree with u here. Treatements, techniques, styles these all are open source these days. I still giggle when I hear people calling this stuff a rip. A rip is a direct copy, same shape, same layout, same form, same colors or a small enough degree of difference for someone to see its a direct rip. Theres only so much you can do with animating type. Now if the fonts are the same or too close thats an argument I guess. I would say the rippers are pretty uncreative...and I wouldn't give them a shred of credit for the look and feel. They made a cool type based video, yay, they borrowed everything they did or as some might say ripped so you see it once and know they copied and forget about them except to remember not to do that yourself in the future.
