Wouldn’t It Be Nice is one of everyone’s favorite tracks by the Beach Boys and this animation of the song matches its joie de vivre so well, perhaps because it was such a personal project.
Joe Humpay (who describes himself as
just another film student trying to get by) created it as a Christmas present to his girlfriend, Jess. It is a kinetic typography of one of her favorite groups.
It was his first shot at doing a much more classical song for a type project and his first personal project in a long time. It comes together really well and is one of the better examples (and certainly more colorful) of kinetic typography that I have seen.
It looks like a
de facto proposal to us! If so, we hope that Joe lets us know whether Jess said yes!
