Taylor Mali "Like You Know"

     One may think a video in which someone is acting out what they're saying differs greatly from a video in which all you see are the words of what that person is saying, but it really isn't so. From seeing Taylor Mali's spoken work video of "Like You Know", it doesn't differ much with his [unconventional] print text. Both methods seemed to have a lot of feeling to it. In the spoken word, you're caught up in Mali's hand movements and facial expressions as he goes on in saying his poem. On the other hand, in the print text video, you get caught up in the same way but instead, through the video's use of italics, font, font size, and positioning of the words. At first I didn't think that the print text version would be as interesting as the spoken word, but through the clever use of what a computer can do with font, the print text kept me just as interested, if not more, into the poem as much as the spoken word did.
