(Moved from Tech Help.)
Since I'm discussing this in a video thread up above...
Do fonts matter to you (in your own work? in others'?)
They do to me, both in my own videos and in others. In a lot of cases, they can add to the feel of a video. In some unfortunate cases (but not the one currently under discussion!), they can detract from a video; I think there are probably some examples with a girlish font and a sad video, or a grungy/hard-bitten font and a bouncy, happy video.
On one hand, if you just slap up Verdana or Times New Roman on everything, you don't risk those moments of disconnection--but on the other hand, your titles and credits always look the same.
Personally: I like to choose a different font for each video. I like the way these fonts can make the videos feel. It is a point where I can leave the viewer with (hopefully) a positive impression, if the font is well-chosen.
What sort of fonts do you use, if they do matter?
I have a lot of freeware fonts. I tend to choose ones which I think meld well. A video with hard drumbeats seems to require a grunge font (a la Life is Long's Bill Hicks; smoother, slower videos require smoother, more subtle fonts (Gentle Arms of Eden's Fashionism.)
Occasionally I'll choose a font which points directly to the theme (like Mohammed's Radio's Pseudo Saudi), but that can be a bit of a fine line, because something like that could easily fall into cliche.
In conclusion...
Just curious how others might answer! It's a sticking-point with me (both positively and negatively) and I wonder how prevalent of a concern it is in the LVI community at large.
