On the way home from school, three children find a cardboard box. Each child takes a turn using their
imagination to transform the lowly cardboard box into an imaginary world. The first two children have very active imaginations and fill their worlds with everything from pirate ships to jet-propelled teddy bears. The third child cannot seem to grasp what it takes to be creative and his world reflects this. In the end, all the children combine their imaginations and show that everyone has the gift to create something wonderful together.

Ive been back from Siggraph for about a week now but I left LA with more than a few bits of swag. Some how I picked up a cold on the way back that developed into a minor ear infection. IN BOTH EARS! So I was basically mostly deaf for a while this week. Luckily I didn’t have much work to do, and was able to make it through the week more or less. A few more days on some heavy duty antibiotics and I should be good to go.

Moving on, here are some Siggraph Pics. Most of the time I was there I was checking in on old friends and attending some great talks and met some great people.

Kite Runner

Just looking around the net for some titling design ideas and i found a site profiling 7 of the apparently best recent title sequences.

I did enjoyed Irons Man, and Stranger and Fictions  title sequence,  i had not seen the other 5. I did mangage to find Kite Runners sequence on MK12’s site

I really like sequences that have depth, design, and timing, and are not overloaded with unnecessary bells and whistles.

enjoy.
