some beautiful ‘fluid typography’ experiments from designer / illustrator ruslan kahsanov, according to the website they have been created digitally, but look incredibly realistic to me…

Information such as the editing structure, color, speech or motion are extracted, analyzed and transformed into graphic representations so that movies can be seen as a whole and easily interpreted or compared side by side…
