I watched my first streaming online video back in 1996 in the computer labs at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design @mcadedu . The video was 320 x 240 pixels in size, maybe even smaller, and it buffered which means it would stall or become super pixelated as it tried to play. #internetkilledtv

This summer a great little indie flick called HOVER was released by SyFy Films. I created the Main Title Sequence, you can check it out by clicking the link in my bio. . . This was a great film to work on. Cleopatra Coleman is the film's star, producer, and she wrote a great story. Matt Osterman turned over every stone to direct the story. Travis Stevens helmed a terrific production with his Snowfort Pictures. . . The process was super fun and I am grateful to have had the gig. . . Luckily, I had a break in my schedule and could make a trip to the set. This allowed me to work with Matt and the aerial photography team on capturing the photography used throughout the opening sequence. . . We talked a lot about how we could use the sequence to help support the story and set the tone of the movie. . . We did several concept sketches looking at typographic styles over close-up shots of farm fields. . . The film is a science fiction story where drones are commonly used to farm the fields. We knew early on this was a great design element to use in the opening sequence to help communicate this story point. . . I also thought the title credits should be rendered as typography hovering in space above shots of the fields and casting a shadow, like a drone moving through a field in real life. . . With the design direction and footage figured out, I did a montage edit of the open. Then, worked with Artist Eli Dorsey to incorporate the drones. . . I am very happy with the work and hope you like it too. ;-) #film #filmtitles #motiongraphics #motiongraphicdesign #design #titledesign #titlesequences #typedesign #type #vfx #cgi #filmtitles #titledesign #typography #openingtitles #motiondesign #filmproducer #featurefilm #filmdirector

IN WINTER - Main Title for Alex Gutterman’s cinematic feature shot in Duluth MN by Joah Colby. The film opens with this long shot of winter and a character meandering through the snow.
