main titles

film and tv main title sequences excite me for many reasons.

one of those reasons is that I have worked in the "mograph" industry and i know that it takes a village. honestly, it can take 10 people and a zillion hours to create something that is less than 3 minutes long. it's very fascinating to watch in progress, which i did a lot because i answered phones at 2 different companies and saw renders aplenty.

Art of the Title is a nice little site with some super good-looking film main titles.
you should watch some.


a few of my personal faves:

American Splendor
Panic Room
Lemony Snicket
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

sweet motion graphics dude

go here to see the ridiculously good looking opener for the Slamdance Film Festival that my BFF Bill created.

animated music videos are a party. eyes and ears invited.

I am not a Mika Fan by any means. I do love this video for his song Lollipop though. It's super-dancey and and super cutesy and so cheesy you need crackers. But I LOVE the animation here.
Here's the stash media link for info on the animators responsible.
