The credits are often the first thing we see when we watch a great film or TV show, but the complexity and artistry of title design is rarely discussed. Creators of title sequences are tasked to invent concepts that evoke the core story and themes of the production, and to create a powerful visual experience that pulls the viewer into the film’s world. In this episode we hear the stories of some of the most inventive people working in the field, including the creators of the iconic Mad Men sequence, the hilarious Zombieland opening and “rules” sequences, and the stirring end credits from Blue Valentine.

Jurassic Park kitchen scene.

DEAN CUNDEY (DP): That was actually one of the most complex and thoughtful sequences, and it’s always been one of my favourites in the film. Partly because when we walked into the set as it was being built, and I looked and saw that everywhere there was steel. But also it’s brushed stainless steel, which is particularly difficult because it reflects light and things in all directions. So we were constantly devising ways to hide the things that shouldn’t be seen, like lights and so forth, and yet create surfaces that the animators and compositors could put reflections in so that the illusion of reality was followed through with. 

Would you say that was the most taxing bit of the film? 

DEAN CUNDEY (DP): I think it probably was, because we were combining puppetry with visual effects, creatures…and again, doing Jurassic Park, nobody had photorealistic creatures in the computer before, so none of us knew anything about what they were going to look like when they were in, composited, any of the techniques we were just inventing them as we went along. Every shot required a great deal of thought. I think that a lot of the credit goes to the fact that Steven [Spielberg] was willing to find ways to accommodate all of the unknown, and as I would think of a potential difficulty on a particular shot and explain it to him, he would say, “Oh, okay, well how do we fix it?” and he was willing to listen to it rather than dismissing it and saying “Don’t worry about it”, and finding out later that it was less rewarding than you had hoped.  (via)

I particularly like the parts where he’s talking to Dean Cundey, the D.P. and where he’s blocking the actors.

However, his research into serial killers has him paranoid at the thought of being murdered.

seriously watch it and it will make you happy

If this 10 minute short film fails to make you smile, then you’re probably dead inside.
