    Still one of my favorites, wrote 2007 a little review about it: http://blog.stefano-picco.de/2007/08/14/motion-design-the-number-23/

    It’s a shame that FF Trixie Pro was released a year after this was produced. The typewriter emulation would have been even more authentic.

    Can anyone tell me the specific type of silk the filmmakers used to create the seeping through blood effect? I’m trying to recreate that look for a film I’m working on and can’t find any information about the specific silk.

    Thanks,
    Neil
