Eran notes:

"I have used Trapcode Particular for all the triangle hair in the film.
Form was used for the tiny bit that is touching the shaving machine.
And also in the green shot with the pointy dwarves there is a bit Particular for the small round specs."

TELEPHONEME | MK12 from MK12 on Vimeo.

What an amazing clip by MK12! Impeccable retro-futuristic style, wonderfully twisted. Simply a joy to watch. And to top it off, they released the beautiful font for download.

Ben Radatz of MK12 notes "We used a healthy amount of Particular on this project. The atom bomb is probably our most elaborate use of Particular to date...it took us a couple of days to put it together, and it's built from seven unique particle emitters. Quite the keyframing nightmare, but we were really happy with the results."

I recommend visiting the site and reading about the project - there is some fascinating theory behind it. The font can also be downloaded at the site: TELEPHONEME.TV

MK12 // Quantum of Solace: Main Title Sequence Reel from MK12 on Vimeo.

In creating the main titles for Quantum of Solace, MK12 set out to design a powerful sequence that not only paid homage to Bond title sequences of the past but also exploited new technologies to its advantage, creating a micro-narrative to work in concert with the film's premise.

As many of the film's locales are desert-based (also a convenient analogy for Bond's mental state following Casino Royale), that became the thematic backbone of the title sequence. MK12 designed several sequences in which sand was an integral 'character', sometimes as a background element, but also at times coming to the foreground and behaving in ways that were impossible to capture on film alone.

For those sequences, MK12 created composites of manipulated live-action sand plates, advanced particle simulations and enhancements using Trapcode Form and Trapcode Particular.

“As we were working with a very compressed schedule, choosing software with a simple interface but complex output was critical. As with many of our past projects, the Trapcode Suite proved to be a useful, if not essential, production tool. Many of our final compositions in Quantum were enhanced & sweetened - and in some instances developed entirely - using Trapcode,” said the team at MK12.

Trapcode Immersive uses the magnetometer (digital compass) and the accelerometer to figure out how the device is held and then renders a corresponding view from a panorama. It is like a window to another world in your hands!

The app contains seven panoramas of different landscapes. One idea we have for future versions is to enable loading a panorama from the photo library on the device (if there is interest in such a feature). Other possible uses could be for previewing a hotel reservation, real estate or whenever an immersive view of an environment is needed.

Since the app needs a compass it works with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPad (runs as an iPhone app).

Director David Viau Notes:

"There was a tremendous amount of 2d effects and compositing in 'Preguntas Hermosas' that contributed to the magical and stylized realism of the environments. Trapcode products definitely played a key role in the production and were a go-to resource. From the woman breaking apart into butterflies to minute details of atmospheric enhancement, the Trapcode Suite was intrical to bringing drama to the love story."
