Semi-Permanent Sydney 2015 (2015)
Away from the hustle, bustle, and endless distraction of our world, you stand alone at the edge of possibility. Take a deep breath. Leave the safety of the familiar and the mundane, leap headlong into the unknown. All systems go. Ready for egress. It’s out here that ideas live – tumbling through the vastness of memory and experience – where grand monuments drift by in the void, shattered and half-formed, bigger than life.
Cut the cord. The thin umbilical tethering you to your point of origin. Rolling, twisting, there is no choice but to continue. Drifting ever further into uncertainty, something finally grabs you: Is this it? What you’ve been looking for? But it slips through your fingers before you realize it – or was it you who slipped? Careening off in a new direction, the answer now looms large, looking you right in the eyes. A new focus and purpose captures you. Down and down you go, ideas long forgotten come into view, propelling you out into the light and an infinity of promise. Closer, closer, almost there. Touchdown.
Title designer Raoul Marks’ extraordinary opener for Semi-Permanent Sydney 2015 visualizes the challenges that any creator faces when trying to do what they do: create. The sequence, which is essentially a short film, wears its influences proudly on its Ortho-Fabric sleeve – from the isolating paintings of artist Jeremy Geddes and the otherworldly imagery of Kubrick and Scott, to the Neo Tokyoite architecture of Katsuhiro Otomo and even Space Race-era issues of LIFE Magazine. Inspired or not, creation is a lonely endeavour, here perfectly encapsulated by the journey of a faceless astronaut hurtling through space, then free-falling from great heights. Will inspiration fuel your vision? What awaits you at the end of your voyage? Breathe it all in and find out.
A discussion with Title Designer RAOUL MARKS.
So, the last time we chatted was for Halt and Catch Fire. What have you been up to since then?
Halt and Catch Fire was almost exactly a year ago! After Halt, I headed to LA for the Emmy Awards, got married, spent a month around Japan, packed up and moved to Melbourne.
Thanks to the magic of fibre internet, I’ve been able to continue working closely with Patrick Clair, who is now with Elastic in LA. We’ve done a number of advertising gigs and main titles. We made the titles for Amazon's…

Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies (1969)
“What is this ‘Monty’ – some kind of a race?” — Chester Schofield
At eight words, the title of this film is a mouthful. Combined with animated illustrations by famed British cartoonist Ronald Searle, it speaks beautifully to the chaos of director Ken Annakin’s breakneck adventure to Monte Carlo.
In the 50s and 60s, as the American automobile industry pushed ever forward, race films surged through Hollywood and forced their way into the British and European landscape. Joining other race films of the day like Around the World in Eighty Days (1956), The Great Race (1965), and Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965), all of which feature lively illustrated title sequences, the British/French/Italian-made and American-imported Jaunty Jalopies was set in motion in madcap fashion. The opening sequence illustrated by Ronald Searle presents a zany journey of grand proportions, featuring wild country and colourful characters. It also literally turns scenes on their head, impressing upon viewers the image of the great wheel, ever turning.
The slapstick comedy features some of the usual suspects of the era: Tony Curtis, Susan Hampshire, Dudley Moore, and Peter Cook. The film’s backbone is the Monte Carlo Rally, an event which began in 1911 as sport and as means of demonstrating automotive innovation. It’s a historic race…

The Pride and The Passion (1957)
“How these Spanish love their moment of truth - to drench the ground with their blood - to die. Why?” — General Jouvet
Author Pat Kirkham discusses the opening titles for The Pride and The Passion, from her authoritative book Saul Bass: A Life in Film and Design.
Saul had worked with Stanley Kramer since the late 1940s, creating advertising campaigns for at least fourteen Kramer productions. His two title sequences for Kramer were for vastly different films: The Pride and the Passion (1957) and It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963).
For The Pride and the Passion, set during the 1810 Spanish War of Independence, Saul used images from Goya’s powerful contemporary Disasters of War etchings, which depict Spanish civilians fighting against Napoleon’s army.
Details from the etchings fill the screen and are overlaid in blood red. Saul then added jarring superimpositions of muskets, spears, a spray of bullets and exploding gunpowder. The first scene of the film, a panoramic view of the retreating Spanish army, fades in under a red screen and, for a few moments, the images are suffused with the color of blood.
Saul designed particularly imaginative items in strong, rich colors of the premiere, but did not claim the main publicity campaign. The album cover, however, is very similar to Saul’s storyboards for a trailer, as are…

The Palm Beach Story (1942)
“That's one of the tragedies of this life – that the men who are most in need of a beating up are always enormous.” — John D. Hackensacker III
After back-to-back masterpieces Sullivan’s Travels and The Lady Eve, director and screenwriter Preston Sturges pulled off a comedy trifecta in 1942 with The Palm Beach Story. At this time, there was still a tradition, inherited from live theatre, of titles that simply presented a programme, with the director, producer, cast, and crew listed in some appropriate typography on an appropriate background, backed by some appropriate theme music. All very static, all very much what the folks taking their seats expected.
The Palm Beach Story’s title sequence is something very different: a fast-paced mystery prologue in pantomime, propelled by a breathless mash-up of the “William Tell Overture” and the “Wedding March”. Given the classical theatre convention that comedies end in marriage, this could easily be the finale of a prequel to the film we’re about to see – a bride and groom racing separately to the altar in taxis, overcoming perils along the way, the breakneck action punctuated by freeze-frame shots.
As soon as the Paramount logo fades, we are plunged right into the story: a lady’s maid, telephone in hand, jabbers at someone off-screen – then shrieks in panic and falls into a ludicrously dramatic faint at the sight of…

FITC Toronto 2015 (2015)
“Human evolution, at first, seems extraordinary. How could the process that gave rise to slugs and oak trees and fish produce a creature that can fly to the moon and invent the Internet and cross the ocean in boats?” —Steven Pinker
Out from the most ancient and basic of substances emerges the opening title sequence to FITC Toronto 2015, a three-day conference celebrating design, web development, media, and innovation in creative technologies.
In this opening by Designer Will Reid and Animation Director Jim Manduca, we are given a sleek vision of evolution, the lines blurred between practical and digital. As we move from the microscopic to the massive, it becomes clear that there’s a connection to be made, lurking beneath these slick gestures. That O, stretching beyond itself and into another, is absolutely smooth – a subtle nod to binary fission. The music, composed by Rob Plowman, is a call of animation and industry and hope. Connection and osmosis and replication. An organism being created to an organism creating.
Conferences like FITC are meant to be agents of change, monoliths that push creatives beyond their limits – instigators of cultural evolution. To enter that arena, we must be open to change. And we must use disorder, communion, and the unexpected to grow stronger and to evolve.
A discussion with Designer WILL REID and Animation Director JIM MANDUCA.
Give us a little background on yourself and what you do.
Will: I’m a motion graphics designer and video editor at Fuel Youth. I graduated from the graphic design program at Algonquin College in Ottawa about 10 years ago. After graduating, I changed my focus and pursued a career in photography that later transitioned into video and motion. I feel like I’ve done a full circle but I’ve collected a lot of useful tools and skill sets along the way.
Jim: I’m the video and 3D animation director at…
