SEX MACHINE opening credits

Here is the opening credits sequence of Sex Machine for your viewing pleasure. The compression at YouTube is really not doing us any favors, but I think this clip will give you a little sense of the feel of the movie.
It might seem strange that I am posting the opening credits of the movie. There is a little background to this decision. Recently, I've found myself in several discussions regarding movie title sequences and typography as it relates to movies. There are certain things that I absolutely hate and see over and over in low-budget movies. For Sex Machine, I really didn't want the titles to look "computer-y" and therefore they are all hand-drawn and lettered. Our budget for the sequence was basically zero.
So Leah drew and inked them on paper, then scanned them in and worked some magic in After Effects. The sequence is about as simple as it gets. While it's ultimately animated via computer, it's still hand-made.
For the live-action sequences between the credits frames, John Howell and I literally went to downtown OKC very late on a Sunday night and ran around the streets with a gun, a satchel full of fake money and a video camera. Shogo did some correction on the color so that the individual shots didn't keep switching from green to orange. But that's it. It was purely run and gun.
