Some people find the funniest ways to slip through the cracks.
Nick Campbell is the guy behind the fabulous shots seen in the opening credits of every Late Night with Conan O’Brien show. In the video above, Nick puts all of the original shots together and shows us which ones were used and which ones were left out of the title sequence. Great work!
Designer and director Karin Fong is one of the founding members of the influential design company Imaginary Forces. She has worked on numerous Main Title projects since she started working for IF. We caught up with her backstage after the Flux/Watch the Titles event in L.A. Fong talks about her recent main title and the making of “machine vision” for Terminator Salvation, her animated title sequence for The Pink Panther 2, and we asked her about her favorite title sequences.
I’ve found myself noticing more and more the opening title sequences to recent movies and I think part of it certainly has to do with creative people like Karin Fong. [via]
From 1920 to today, The Movie Title Stills Collection is your one-stop website to go to in order to get a good sense of how a particular decade introduced movies to its audiences.
My friend Dave Hong has entered his show reels into the aniBoom Awards 2008 competition and it would be great if you could help him out and view some of his amazing animation work. The work uploaded to the competition consists mostly of fantastic short animations that lead-in to a full show.
I’ve known Dave for a while now but I’ve never really seen any of his work until now, and I am really impressed. It’s all top-notch quality and certainly deserving of some recognition.
I know your lives aren’t as busy as you think, so take some time out and enjoy his videos and rate them after you’re done watching! I’m sure he’d thank you in person if he could!
The Gossip Girl soundtrack is dropping on October 28 and I think it has the most clever title ever. The collection of tunes, which include tracks from The Ting Tings, The Kooks, Phantom Planet, and The Teenagers, all fall under the fitting title of OMFGG (Original Music Featured on Gossip Girl).
You can pre-order it now if you want. Or wait a week and see if it pops up anywhere…
