Hitchhiker's guide Kinetic Typography

#1

For those who don’t know its animation using only words seen best in this videos
A Scanner Darkly 18 speed bike
V for Vendetta V monologue
Fight Club Chemical Burn Scene

I plan I doing one using something from Hitchhiker’s guide but I can’t decide what
(just for reference i have every episode of both the TV Show, and the Radio Show)

a few ideas i had were

the vogon captian reading poetry
the Vogon guard’s rant with Ford
the guide bit about the woman in the coffee shop having the answer to the earths problems

but i’m not sure if i should do one of those or another i decided to post it on this forum because some of you are fans of the Guide and will probably be able to help me out on picking the perfect piece of the hitchhiker’s guide to use.

Aw, man, this one’s easy to answer. The towel monologue. Nearly every H2G2 fan knows about this.

Grab some images from the TV series and the recent film, mix them in with the text.

Definetly either the Towel talk, or The entry about careless talk. You know, the one where Arthur saying something starts an intergalactic war, then the entire fleet is eaten by a small dog? Something like that.

Yeah and ruin the whole goddamn concept of typography.

Actually, the way that FMJ clip uses things like tanks and grenades was what I had in mind when I suggested getting things from the film and series. Not like some hideous montage of footage.

Get Sean Connery to do the Vogon’s poetry, record it, animate it, and add a typical bass line to the background.
