"We are Sex Bob-omb and we are here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff!" - Scott Pilgrim

The reductionist 8-bit rendering of the Universal logo is the amuse-bouche to Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World based on the graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O'Malley.

The manga/mumblecore modulation of the film first seethes here on pseudo strips of scratched celluloid scored to Beck's/Sex Bob-omb's artful cheetah-like strains of something akin to Black Flag ("Wasted") locking horns with Iggy Pop ("Search and Destroy").

The visual napalm, conjured by Shynola, is traced and painted upon rather than a result of exposure to light.

Director Edgar Wright, concept designer and head storyboard artist Oscar Wright, and main title designer Richard Kenworthy from Shynola discuss the creation of the opening sequence with us.
