film title design

Early in my career I provided effects for the documentary film "The Making of 'Gone With The Wind'" in which I used digital tools to de-construct then put back together special effects done in 1939 with glass, matte paintings and in-camera wizardry. That was odd. And why did I bring this up? Oh, yeah, I do title design and animation for film. Still.

THE COCKETTES: Interstitial title design | For this feature documentary I created titles to reflect the directors desire for something that appeared to be older than it was. I also decided to use various printers dingbats in the frames to reflect the events to come: flowery hippie-esque in the beginning, harder art deco stuff for the early seventies in New York.
