Focus Features
Oh WOW. Is it just me or does anyone else feel like Tim Burton can do no wrong? Watching this trailer gave me the impression that he’s at it again. This time he’s joined forces with Timur Bekmambetov and from what I can tell, their union gave fruit to something ridiculously dope. Read the NYT review here.

“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.

“Tyger”
May 11, 2009 Inspiration, Motion
This is an oldie but still one of my favorite animations. It’s a short animation by a Brazilian named Guilherme Marcondes and it’s based off the William Blake poem “The Tyger”. He weaves illustration, puppetry, photgraphy, and CGI brilliantly. It’s pure magic.
