Bumper Jumpers also available on YouTube.

If the Flash version doesn’t do it for you, you can always view the Bumper Jumpers in QuickTime.

These are introductory bumpers I made for all the 2nd-Year students in the 2d department at Cranbrook for presentations that we had to make last fall. The type is an animated version of the Slitscan Typeface Generator that I made last spring.

Here’s the soundtrack for the vids. All music is used without permission as it was for educational use:

Skeleton - Inflatable Boy Clams
Bathtime in Clerkenwell - The Clerkenwell Kid
Closer to Mario - Nine Inch Goombas (Super Mario Bros. vs. Nine Inch Nails)
Eyeball Skeleton - Eyeball Skeleton
Stout-Hearted Man - Shooby Taylor (The Human Horn)
Do the Lollipop - Sweetness (Dave Soldier & Hip Hop Rascalz)
Slightly Crazy Lazy Day - The Amazing Adventures of Pac-Man
Crazy Butt - Sound Advice (Gnarls Biggie)
A Knife and a Fork - Think Tank
Imagine…Walk on the Wild Side - rx (George W. Bush vs. John Lennon vs. Lou Reed)

Your fucked up, I really like some of this stuff. It’s somewhat similar to stuff that I do, which means it’s pretty crazy.

Morgan: I’d be interested to see what your “pretty crazy” stuff is like. Is it online anywhere?

Hey, I was just browsing the Internet and put my name into google search and your site came up :p

So I’m assuming your name is Jonathan Keller too. Awesome. XD

Like your vid, love your art, your whole page is pretty sweet. I’ve got some of my art up on my site in the ‘my drawings’ album, but I’ve just began a three year program at Ai in Charleston for Graphic Design. Anyway, keep it up

Jonathan: A little bit of google navel-gazing I see…

I couldn’t find the drawings on your myspace page, but good luck with your studies.

I would love to have some detail on how you did this, and if you would not mind, try it and use my own ideas. If so please tell me

Congratz in this amazing page m8, what program u use to create that vid.

Ross: I mostly used Adobe After Effects to create the video. The type was created using Illustrator and its scripting functionality.

Marcos: I shot people jumping using a camera that could capture at 60 frames per second. Then, I took the 4-8 frames at the top of each jump, slowed them down in After Effects so, when looped, the clips would sync with the sound.
