I feel like the latest episode of PBS Off Book was made just for me. I love opening title sequences, full of amazing technical, storytelling and design elements that elevate the work they precede. One of the very first posts I made here was on title sequences. Most recently there was a post on the opening credits for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Along the way I have also shared A Brief History of Title Design created by the fantastic Art of the Title and the must-see visual history lesson on The Title Design of Saul Bass.
“When everything falls into place, and becomes part of your experience of the show, that’s when design becomes filmmaking, and storytelling.”- Peter Frankfurt

Another great episode of The Paul Holdengrager Show on YouTube’s Intelligent Channel, this time featuring prize-winning writer Colum McCann.

We started the week with the return of Ze Frank and his inspiring messages to get something started and move the dial from 0 to 1. We end the week with an equally motivating message, once you’ve started something, make it count.
Remember Move, Eat, Learn - A Philosophy For Life In 3 Short Films from last summer. Director Rick Mereki was commissioned to create films instead of creating ads for STA Australia. The result was three truly inspiring films.
Well, it seems filmmaker Casey Neistat may have been inspired by the idea. He was commissioned to make a short film for the Nike+ Fuelband campaign #makeitcount. Possessed by a spirit of adventure he didn’t do an ad either. Instead he took the budget and, like Mereki before him, he went on a trip around the world with his friend and editor and they kept going until they ran out of money. The result is the short film Make It Count.

I didn’t intend to make dance the theme of the week but as it happens sometimes all of the ideas come together at once and so, in case you missed them earlier, here they are, five views on dance:
For more posts on dance check out the Dance category. I also encourage you to check out The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life and The Collaborative Habit: Life Lessons for Working Together, two fantastic books by one of America’s greatests choreographers and collaborators Twyla Tharp.
