Imaginary Force
Imaginary force is a digital production company based in New York and LA, they create and develop content for commercial advertising, digital and interactive platforms, feature films and film marketing, television, architectural spaces, and global brands. Here are some examples of the work they have done. The work varies from things like the 500 days of summer credits which is the most similar to what we are doing within after effect, others are slightly less relivant regaurding something as something that could be made in after effects but useful research all the smae.
ONE SIZE Motion Direction Design
Unfortunately the website I have got these videos from only allows the embedding of links and not actual videos but follow the links and there are some really nice videos not necessarily using After Effects or similar programs but they are good examples of pace and movement.
Film Titles
Here are some examples of film title sequences, this is something I wil need to look at inspiration for my own work, I could use some of the ideas within these titles to produce my own title sequences.
Kinetic Type
Pulp Fiction
Unfortunately there are not that many great examples of kinetic type with the same quotes or indeed from the same films I have chosen to create my own kinetic type around, here are some examples from the films I have chosen as a part of my top ten!

Star Wars
These are very poor, but there is things I can learn from these the movement for example how they move around the page and the different perspectives they give with the use of 3D layers and zooming.

Shawshank Redemption
The use of type on this one is not especially good, but there is some good movement within the clip and this is something I could consider while developing my own idents.

Makeing of Rango Title Sequence
These are three videos I have got from Watch the Tiles, the three video show the different processes in pre production of the opening sequence this is really interesting when thinking about how I will produce my videos.
Rango credits.
Nanny McPhee titles and Production
The Closing credits for the film Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, although the credits are not done in after effects the rest of the post is interesting regarding process and story boarding ideas. The images and films show the various process involved needed to create a sequence I'm sure I will be able to draw parallels with my own work.

Family Guy Shawshank Redemption
I'm looking at things like Family Guy because of the humor they use within the show and the parody of other programs and films, for example with this clip of the Shawshank Redemption which is in my top ten.
Robot Chicken Star Wars
Robot chicken similar to family guy in many way, partly due to the cross over in producers and casting, but also in the way they parade films especially star wars, this is somthing I have thought about for my own concept for a program.

Matt Chace

Kyle Thiboutot
Here are some great alternative film posters, they represent the films really well obviously showing the films but in a non conventional way which is one of the things I have initially thought about within my own project.
