   I seem to remember that the end credits were pretty cool too- running sort of backwards.
   This was the first movie that the credits had me going- “Damn, that’s amazing” in quite a while- the whole Imaginary Forces reel was pretty impressive when I first saw it about 10 years ago.

   This was done at Imaginary Forces and title giant Thomas Cobb worked on this as well.

   This was a starting point for me. The grungy letters, the jumpcuts. The best.

   Does anyone know what the significance of the “No Key” that when is played frame by frame appears numerous times in the Title sequence.

   The dvd has a long video about the making of this sequence. worth the dissection, pun intended.

   Pity that Coil, who did the remix of Closer, isn’t credited in the movie.

    I think some of the photographs used in the intro sequence were similar to work by the Starn twins http://www.wdog.com/sarah/starn_brothers.htm

    As a matter of fact, this was done by Kyle Cooper in 1995 while he was creative director at R/Greenberg Associates in LA. He founded Imaginary Forces a year later (1996). (Thomas Cobb did work on this as well, that’s correct).
