Digital Kitchen; a production studio that has also worked on opening title sequences for 'Six Feet Under' and 'Dexter' has done an amazing job at the title sequence for the hit US series 'True Blood'.
Featuring the song 'Bad Things' performed by Jace Everett, it reveals the southern darkness of religion and sex.

The production company wanted to construct the sequence around the idea of "the whore in the house of prayer". Combing the supernatural, baptism, redemption and the corruption of our simple minds when faced with "religious fanaticism" and "sexual energy". Some shots within the opening title sequence use a Polaroid process when it came to including the blood blotches.

This is worth a look, and I am a fan of Dexter and True Blood so it makes all the better. Give them a go!

Hiya

This is my blog, going through ideas, progression, transformation as a growing practitioner.

I enjoy what I do, favourite artist is Arnold Newman and has been for a good year or so now. I've never come across such beautiful images as he produces and hope to one day (if portraiture is my strongest area) to produce work like his.

I like films, there are some major ones that I do need to see and some minimalistic ones. The one on my agenda at the moment is 'Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll' based on the musician Ian Dury.

If i'm not at university, cinema, out and about I like to snowboard with the uni's team LUSST, and have been for over a year. Just started to become alright at it...
