I remember once, when I was a kid, we spent an afternoon climbing up and then jumping off the roof. I didn't really want to. Not because I was afraid of heights, but that I was afraid of broken bones. Peer pressure being such a persuasive tool however, I jumped.

Opening Title Sequence for "Scott Pilgrim vs the World"

I saw "Scott Pilgrim vs the World" when it came out a few months back, and I really enjoyed it. Today I read a post from Art of the Title, that has renewed my interest. Watching the opening credits once again reminded of all that the film has to offer. In the post they interviewed the director and designers behind the opening to the film. I found the shot shown above, the couch being pulled back, to be interesting considering what it took to accomplish. It was great to get some background on the credits as well and why they took the approach they did. To watch the opening click here.
