This week I wrote a couple posts that revolved around graphic & title design.

Inside the Edit: Dexter’s Opening Credits was all about the brilliance of one of my favorite title sequences.  It was followed up by my own attempt a title graphic by animating the Athletic Nerd’s new logo.  Today I wanted to share a couple of links that expand on those two posts.

The first deals with legendary opening titles and the second designing your own.

CHRISTOPHER NOLAN TALKS FILMMAKING

There is a brilliant interview over on The Director’s Guild of America’s site that goes in depth with Christopher Nolan on his directing style.

Read the interview here.

I’m a massive fan of Nolan’s work as many are but not just because of the blockbusters like the Batman series or Inception.  It’s the originality he pours into his films like Memento, The Prestige and Insomnia.  Did I mention I can’t wait for The Dark Knight Rises?
