Mk12 - Stranger Than Fiction

MK12 was founded in 2000 by four friends (Timmy Fisher, Ben Radatz, Matt Frac tion, and Jed Carter) who met at the Kansas City Art Insti tute. They pre vi ously worked with Quan tum of Solace direc tor Marc Forster, design ing open ing credit titles for the movies Stranger Than Fic tion (2006) and The Kite Runner (2007). Their help was enlisted by visual effects pro ducer Leslie McMinn. Although they are still pretty new in the motion pic ture busi ness, their ground break ing open ing credit titles for Stranger Than Fic tion pro pelled them into the spot lights. The sequence is a fas ci nat ing blend of live action and ani mated typog ra phy and infor ma tion graph ics mor ph ing across the screen. News Gothic works won der fully well in this context.
