hey
A while ago Lukasz Boros (visualchemy) and I made a quartz thang for text which spells out words , each letter doing a 'slotmachine' style spin till it settles on the right letter. This was for the Coldcut 'Energy Union' AV film and was inspired by Massive Attacks live show which uses a lot of text.
It's called CCType.
for an example movie see https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5919678/CCtype.mov

There are various options for speed etc. Time Interpolation is how much of each word reveal is taken up by slotmachine spin.
I noticed a mistake: the params that come up as Font Size (XY) are actually settings for how far dispersed the words are. Some weirdness in the params publishing from QC...?
Hope the community finds it useful. Lets say its Open Source so feel free to adapt. Caveat Emptor
