Stranger Than Fiction Visual Effects
I recently watched "Stranger Than Fiction" (site by Big Spaceship) which was a pretty good movie, but what left a more lasting impression on me were the visual effects.
Diagrams where overlaid and worked into the pictures to illustrate what was happening in the story. The main character works for the IRS and has a very efficient technical mind and lives his life the same way. Although I don't think the visuals where essential to the storytelling they did help to enhance it and for me they where a great visual treat that I've been talking about for days.
The work was done by MK12, one of my favorite motion graphics studios and I can't stress enough how flawlessly they executed it. From the typography and design to the animation and camera matching (including great depth of field and masking effects).
Check out the clips of the intro and end credits below, or better yet, rent the movie.

pretty incredible...
I think what I love about MK12's work is they way they combine graphic elements with organic feel + objects. even the simple "swing" animation theme really adds a different level of interest to the frame.
so is the library at 30 circuit road offering loaners at a reasonable rate?
