Comments from designer

• “Animation is very closely related to the dance. To be aware of this is to realize the film form is choreography in time, space, sound and light. In our films we try to develop as many styles and approaches as the opportunity provides… My role in these films is writer, director and producer but Kurtz & Friends is far from a one man studio, it is a group effort of incredibly talented and dedicated artists.”

Analysis of Two Title Sequences

• Mission Impossiblehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFtHB4RevLM It’s a fast Action packed film as you can tell from the title

sequence. It seems like an intense film and serious.

• The Incredible Hulkhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vvDRvKBUZY It starts off just like any other marvel comic film except that it

usually involves superheroes and from this title sequence it makes you think the main character is a villain from all the “Danger” signs and from the sequence having a mysterious green glow.
