Kinetic Typography Video: “Oil’d” by Chris Harmon

Ever wondered how dependent we are on oil? As the 1 year anniversary of the largest oil disaster ever approaches, Vimeo user, Chris Harmon reminds just how much we rely on oil and informs us on what we can do to help out in this superbly crafted, kinetic typography video. Pay attention to the stunning visuals and the staggering statistics. The only tools Chris used on this video were Adobe After Effects and Adobe Illustrator.
