Isabel Ann Castro: TMBG Meet The Elements

They Might Be Giants is one of my favorite bands. Their videos are always really creative. TMBG started going really cool children's albums that teach them stuff. This is from the album, Here Comes Science. Molecules and Elements are the focus for the video. Feel Good Anyway created this video but had the "help of Eric Siegel of the New York Hall of Science to help them create a molecular model that would please both the kids and their fact-loving science teachers." This is a great example where type communicates rather than just moves around. My own mom showed it to her students and they did better own their tests over the elements than they did the first time. They use a sans serif font that is throughout the video. It makes it easy to read and modern looking.
