Typographic Inspiration

I've started looking at some typographic moving images on YouTube for inspiration and ideas that I might be able to use within my own moving images. I came across a number of inspiring pieces of moving typographic sequences (see below links). I love how the type follows the pace of the narration and cleverly reflects the atmosphere and emphasis of the words being spoken. I found that the pieces gave those narrated sequences that I was already familiar with a new exciting dynamic. I think they are fairly impactive and pack quite a punch, especially where tension is being emphasised with big bold lettering which fills the screen. Each of the sequences below have certain qualities that I could use in my own sequence. With time being of the essence I'm not sure how much I will be able to acheive in after effects which would be ideal for this approach but could experiment with flash as some of the examples below do have a vector feel to them yet still contain the excitement.
