Ira Glass on Storytelling
May 22, 2009 Inspiration
Lately, there’s been much discussion (amongst my friends and I) around “creative drive” – that inherent awareness that we are still unsatisfied and looking to push our work further…where does our tenacity come from? Ira Glass points out that the gap between ability and taste, is what drives creative people to achieve great things. So weird…I’ve never thought of it as a gap…when I think of it now, it’s kinda like “duh!”

The work of Tiffany Bozic should have been my first post – I can never get enough of this woman’s work. I love the way she thinks and executes her ideas. I’d crap my pants if I could have one of her pieces hanging on my wall.

“Quantum of Solace” Opening Animation
May 12, 2009 Motion
The title sequence for “Quantum of Solace” just came to mind and I remembered thinking that it was really well done. MK12 designed the typeface and the opening credits for the film.
MK12 custom designed the typeface which looks like a classic Helvetica-like grotesque. The type, created from scratch, was modelled around the perfectly circular O’s, which were originally meant to symbolize bullet casings. The animation style incorporates the classic travelling dot from the barrel sequence, which precedes the opening titles in almost all of the Bond films. Also, by utilising the sporadic blinking of basic shapes, the font animates in tandem with the staccatos of the main title score and pays homage to the opening titles from Dr. No (1962) and its designer, Maurice Binder.
