Textual fluidity frozen repeatedly.

Art of the Title spoke with Julien Widmer, the designer of the opening titles for “Le Souffleur” a film about an imaginative but shy theater prompter who falls in love with an unwitting actress.

“‘Souffleur’ means ‘the prompter’ and ‘the blower.’ It’s the same word in French because a prompter ‘blows’ the words to the actors when they are in need. This particular theater prompter happens to live in his prompter box. So for this title I chose to blow letters and words like a prompter would do. In this 3D graphic space, we are like the actor who forgot his lines, searching for the words between the letters.”

    Wow. This is an insanely inspiring introduction.
    I have used deceptive z-axies to reveal the image of a skeleton before for the introduction of an anatomy minisode called “Ask Dr.J,” but they took it to a whole new level. With the use of camera options and null objects you could totally do what they did.
    Downright brilliant.
