Knots and Crosses

A week-long group project to create a TV intro for Ian Rankin's "Knots & Crosses". The brief was given to us by title sequence director Richard Morrison.

We spent three days coming up with the concept, finding/dressing locations and filming, and one day editting.

I co-directed it with the team and designed and animated the typography.

I love this title sequence. Im reading this book at the moment and this is actually like what the books about. Im actually writing a novel at the moment, inspired by Ian Rankin and Inspector Rebus, and for my Final Major Project at college im doing a crime drama which is based on the novels and my own novel.

I love this though!

One Question...what type of camera or editing equipment did you use to get that film look? Ive been looking to do it myself for ages, but no one can seem to tell me.

super cool video, great choice of locations and the post production was very smooth. choice of music was excellent. i kind of expect some opening credits to accompany it, which can only be a good thing!
