  1. 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/

  2. 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.

  3. Neil says:

    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
