Chuck? Seriously?

Those titles are terrible. Loved the show, hated the titles.

Looks like amateur hour…..and from a few years back…..this is why I don’t think of IF when I think of good work…..all the people that made great work there are long gone.

Oh, I don’t doubt that. I’m some what familiar with particular but I doubt I would be able to get this look myself. They did a great job.

only time will tell…will politics win out or will creative ingenuity take the prize. My hope is for the latter in which case “The Company” is the clear favorite. NICE WORK!!!

DK came to VFS couple month ago and talked about the company titles for about 20 mins. the final look really was achieved by drawing frame by frame over CG imagery. even the interns over there did some rotoscoping so they could finish he said. they had showed a couple alternate version it was cool.

Cody and Matt worked like hell to get that look. It wasn’t the result of pushing a button.

From the gallery of the Trapcode website:

The first clip is the intro for the movie “The Company”. It features a cross-hatch technique that Matt LaVoy and Cody Cobb developed that uses Trapcode Particular to create the look of animated cross-hatched drawings.

I’m going with The Company. Bernard and Doris comes a close second. It was just waaaay too long for me. Mad Men was good; I guess I’m just tired of that style. And to me it doesn’t work as well as something like in Catch Me If You Can. Mad Men distracts from the titles, until the very end. The focus should always try to fall back to the titles; being that it is a title sequence…

Solid stuff from everyone though. It’s gonna be close

Not from what I’ve heard – XSI particles & hair attached to verts.+ some tricky compositing & good old fashioned hand drawn animation.

The first and last scene of New Amsterdam are indeed the most successful ones, and apparently they did it all in 2D which makes it even cooler.

The Company does look like particular.
