Wolfgang Weingart
Weingart was born in 1941 and trained as a typesetter in Basel, Switzerland.[2] According to a 1991 interview in Eye magazine: "since 1968 he has been a tutor at the Schule für Gestaltung Basel, Switzerland, where he concentrates on experimental typography. Since 1972, Weingart has lectured widely on his teaching methods in Europe, the US, Canada and Mexico. He is a contributor to the Journal Typographische Monatsblätter, for which he designed a series of covers, and is founder of the periodicals Typographic Process and TM/Communication."[3]
According to Weingart, "I took 'Swiss Typography' as my starting point, but then I blew it apart, never forcing any style upon my students. I never intended to create a 'style'. It just happened that the students picked up — and misinterpreted — a so called 'Weingart style' and spread it around.

I think this video is done by Breakmould (Rich Lyons). A nice use of geometric shapes and neon colour.
