Record
of Lodoss War Collectors Series, Disc B Main Menu
Meet
The Heroes Build from Disc B
|
Designer's
notes:
These menus were created mostly from program content. We used rotoscoped
image sequences in several of the menus, as well as customized video
loops and sound designs. |
Me
& Isaac Newton Main Menu ( 320x240, mpeg, 8.8mb)
Me & Isaac
Newton Scene Transitionals (320x240,mpeg, 19mb)
 |
Designer's
notes:
These menus were created from a combination of program content as
well as re-created elements. We used a variety of compositing techniques
to create a "clean blue microscopic" backdrop, We pulled
video from the program to create the space montage in the center
of the screen and duplicated the blooming text effect that was present
in the original program. |
The
Confessions of Robert Crumb (draft, 320x240, mpeg, 5.2mb)
 |
Designer's
notes:
This menu was created from just one piece of cleared art. The characters
were extracted and given their own "identity". This menu
is created mostly from the package art, with some image grabs, sound
effects and music from the program.

Jackson
Pollock (320x240, Mpeg, 7mb)
 |
Designer's
notes:
This menu was created from both packaging elements and program material.
|
The
Avengers 1968 Main Menu Build (320x240, Mpeg, 8.2 mb)
 |
Designer's
notes:
The packaging drove the design for this set. Our aim was to bring
the packaging to life. Each "cartoon bubble" in the menu
is a 3D rendered object with it's own distortion pattern. The music
was pulled from the program. |
Peter
Gunn Main Menu Build ( Draft, 320X240, mpeg, 11mb)
Peter Gunn Trivia Main build
( Draft, 320X240, mpeg, 5.7mb)
|
Designer's
notes:
In this set of menus, we leveraged the massive amount of material
available within the Peter Gunn episodes, as well as deriving color
schemes and typestyles from the two Peter Gunn album covers. The
concept here was to set up Peter's hangout, "Mothers"
as the central "location" for the menus, with other menus
being located around Mother's. ( in the scene selection menu, Gunn
steps out back for a smoke, etc. ) The opening menu build has some
spot color added, but mostly things remain monochromatic.Our aim
was to draw the viewer into Peter's world. |
Heritage Main Menu ( 320X240, Mpeg, 12mb)
Heritag Interactive Atlas
with transitions (320X240, Mpeg, 18mb)
 |
Designer's
notes:
This disc set recently received rave reviews. The menus were derived
from the original program material. The final design came as a collaboration
with the packaging designers as well as the DVD-ROM content developers.
The Interactive Atlas serves as a tiny taste of what's available
on the DVD-ROM and draws the viewer's interest to the ROM.

Heroes
of Iwo Jima Main Menu loop (320x240, Mpeg, 7mb)
 |
Designer's
notes:
You might call this a "standard" main menu-- We combine
elements from the package design and the program to present the
"flavor" of the disc. |
Horatio
Hornblower 3D Cannon Elements (320X240, Mpeg, 19mb)
 |
Designer's
notes:
These are 3D elements for the Horatio Hornblower series of discs.
This is a fairly long clip that moves through the menu options of
exploring a 3D rendered cannon. Using this technique, a lot of detail
is possible for portraying timelines, shipwrecks, maps, almost anything
that time and budget allows. |
