Apple Pro profiles Digital Kitchen’s work on HBO’s True Blood:


  For the True Blood title sequence, Digital Kitchen combined film clips in a myriad of styles to create a morose melange that reflects the show’s darkly comic premise: that vampires are among us, their lethal bloodlust now sated by a synthetic blood drink. The titles blend film and digital footage, along with handmade paper-cut titles that were scanned and dropped into the scene with After Effects.

48Hours is a New Zealand-wide contest to write, shoot and edit a short film in a single weekend. Technical Difficulties from Team Zombies Rule — one of my favourites from the Auckland regional final — narrowly missed making it into this year’s national final. Each team draws a random genre and is assigned elements to include in the short: a character, object and line of dialogue. These guys drew “real time” as the genre and staged their zombie attack as a cleverly cut live news report. And yes, that is Sunday Breakfast’s hilarious José Barbosa as news anchor Rex.
