I was very sad to hear of Norman Jewison's death last Saturday at 97. He directed classic films across an impressively broad range of genres, including "The Thomas Crown Affair"; "In The Heat of the Night"; "Jesus Christ Superstar"; "Rollerball"; "Moonstruck"; "The Hurricane" and personal favourite, "The Cincinnati Kid" (1965). This scene has been etched into my memory since I was little.

SuperGrizzly's latest intro video for QED (qedcon.org) a two-day science and skepticism convention. The sketch (entitled 'Hesitant Evil') pokes fun at the serious issues of anti-vaccine rhetoric and Covid denial.

We are delighted to be able to show off our title sequence for 'Mama’s Boy', Laurent Bouzereau's powerful documentary about a mostly-paralyzed, conservative Christian mother, and her relationship with her gay son, Lance Black. The Oscar-winning writer of ‘Milk' also wrote the book the film is based on. The title sequence depicts an emotional divide that for a while kept Lance and his mother apart before they are eventually unified by their love for one other. SuperGrizzly also provided stills animation that feature throughout the film. - MAMA’S BOY is available on HBO and HBOMax.

We recommend - the 2nd book written by our friend Winnie Li - It's the first full week of sales and a crucial one for the book’s momentum. A mystery set in the world of filmmaking, COMPLICIT owes much to the stories that emerged in the movement. But Winnie also wanted to channel her own experiences working in the film industry as a young woman — and as a sexual violence survivor, who has done a lot of thinking and consulting on how we tell these kinds of stories in the media. While capturing her own passion for cinema, and the supposed fun and glamour of Hollywood, COMPLICIT questions how much our individual ambitions affect our moral decisions, when our workplaces are already such an unequal playing field.

Happy birthday Jim Broadbent! We have been lucky enough to work on not one but TWO Jim Broadbent title sequences recently - 'Ten Percent' and 'The Duke'.
Our third title sequence collaboration with director Sean Ellis was an expression of our mutual love affair with optical techniques employed in classic horror films such as 'The Thing'.
For 'The Cursed’, the main title typography was designed to dominate the screen, whilst being off-centre to suggest that all is not well. Once designed, a partially translucent piece of vinyl cut artwork was made and then shipped to France where Sean himself filmed it using a Time Shift Box which allows the film to advance in the gate with the shutter open. This creates a beautiful, unmistakably optical, streaking effect. This technique echoes that seen during some of the more frenetic creature encounters within the film itself. The film was scanned and then taken into After Effects where different passes were enhanced and combined to maximum effect.

SuperGrizzly’s title sequence for The Duke treats Jim Broadbent's Kempton Bunton like the brilliant international art thief that police assumed he was. This feel of the heist movie in the form of multiple screens is a nod to the work of the great crime-caper titles maestro, Pablo Ferro (The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt) and is a regular feature throughout the film. The small/big & colourless/gold typography is a representation of the David & Goliath battles that Bunton was habitually drawn to. This is a heart-warming film national treasure of a film that made us cry and laugh, from script to screen. Director Roger Michell's unique flare for touching and funny drama will be greatly missed. It was a honour to work with him this one time.

When making a Kent Police recruitment ad, sometimes it's necessary to put on your best burglar's outfit, run away from some police and jump over a fence. Although on this occasion it wasn't necessary at all, but I insisted anyway. I did it 5 times and the cops never even got close! I did get a splintered inner thigh however. You can see the few frames that made the edit here: https://www.facebook.com/SuperGrizzly/videos/843654246070768 (We decided we didn't need my very strange facial expression in the cut)
SuperGrizzly’s new title sequence for ‘Ten Percent' mirrors the frantic life of an agent with a hectic split-screen montage of London's West End and a flurry of animated, rejected, amended and sometimes destroyed contracts. The sequence was designed and directed by Matt White, and features the design, editing and animation skills of Greg Barth. With additional animation work by Edmund Brown. Animated shredder shot by Fifth Wall VFX.
You can stream the whole first season now on Amazon Prime Video in the UK and Sundance Now in the US.

The Cursed, The latest film with titles by SuperGrizzly, opens this Friday!
HorrorFuel.com's Kelli Marchman McNeely calls "The Cursed" "one of the best horror films of the year," in her review.
New Work: The Cursed, the chilling new film from Sean Ellis is coming to cinemas in February. Title sequence by SuperGrizzly.
We went back to horror film basics for this one. Taking inspiration from the iconic titles of John Carpenter’s 'The Thing', we created a partically transparent physical piece of artwork which was then filmed by Sean himself, in order to create a very cool, and importantly optical vertical streaking effect. Various passes were shot and scanned and then blended and composited by lead animator, Stig Coldham.

SuperGrizzly Creative Director Matthew White has immersed himself so much in his work on titles and split screen sequences for forthcoming feature film, 'The Duke', that his choice of new glasses was subconsciously inspired by lead character, Kempton Bunton, played exquisitely by Jim Broadbent. (We have no explanation for the shirt.)
