This is a monograph on the work of American designer Kyle Cooper, one of the most significant creators of film titles since Saul Bass. His extraordinary title sequence for David Fincher's horror-thriller Seven (1995) is credited by many with bringing about a renaissance in innovative title design. Cooper is one of the founders of the Los Angeles-based company Imaginary Forces and has produced a succession of titles for such films as True Lies, The Island of Dr Moreau, Twister, Mimic, Donnie Brasco, Reindeer Games, Spider-Man and Arlington Road.

Transforming Type
Author: Barbara Brownie
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857855662
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
Transforming Type examines kinetic or moving type in a range of fields including film credits, television idents, interactive poetry and motion graphics. As the screen increasingly imitates the properties of real-life environments, typographic sequences are able to present letters that are active and reactive. These environments invite new discussions about the difference between motion and change, global and local transformation, and the relationship between word and image. In this illuminating study, Barbara Brownie explores the ways in which letterforms transform on screen, and the consequences of such transformations. Drawing on examples including Kyle Cooper's title sequence design, kinetic poetry and MPC's idents for the UK's Channel 4, she differentiates motion from other kinds of kineticism, with particular emphasis on the transformation of letterforms into other forms and objects, through construction, parallax and metamorphosis. She proposes that each of these kinetic behaviours requires us to revisit existing assumptions about the nature of alphabetic forms and the spaces in which they are found.

The Hell of War Comes Home
Author: Owen W. Gilman Jr.
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496815777
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Owen W. Gilman Jr. stresses the US experience of war in the twenty-first century and argues that wherever and whenever there is war, there will be imaginative responses to it, especially the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Since the trauma of September 11, the experience of Americans at war has been rendered honestly and fully in a wide range of texts--creative nonfiction and journalism, film, poetry, and fiction. These responses, Gilman contends, have packed a lot of power and measure up even to World War II's literature and film. Like few other books, Gilman's volume studies these new texts-- among them Kevin Powers's debut novel The Yellow Birds and Phil Klay's short stories Redeployment, along with the films The Hurt Locker, American Sniper, and Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. For perspective, Gilman also looks at some touchstones from the Vietnam War. Compared to a few of the big Vietnam books and films, this new material has mostly been read and watched by small audiences and generated less discussion. Gilman exposes the circumstances in American culture currently preventing literature and film of our recent wars from making a significant impact. He contends that Americans' inclination to demand distraction limits learning from these compelling responses to war in the past decade. According to Gilman, where there should be clarity and depth of knowledge, we instead face misunderstanding and the anguish endured by veterans betrayed by war and our lack of understanding.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
An honorable, aspiring attorney’s dream job becomes a dishonorable nightmare in this “funny and charming” debut (Gary Shteyngart, author of Lake Success). Sheila Raj is a recent graduate of Columbia Law School with high aspirations of working for the ACLU. When she lands a coveted year-long federal clerkship with legal goddess Judge Helga Friedman, she cannot help but think that her life is destined for jurisprudential greatness. But law school did not prepare Sheila for the sociopath who greets her on her first day, and pushes her to the brink of resignation. It’s only when she’s assigned to a high-profile death penalty case that Sheila realizes that to survive the year as Friedman’s chambermaid—not just her sanity, but actual lives will hang in the balance. Because Prada be damned, “the devil really wears a black robe” (Jill Kargman, author of Momzillas). “In the world of the federal judiciary, where judges are sacrosanct and impervious to criticism, Saira Rao’s deliciously controversial debut novel ranks with mooning the Supreme Court” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Delivering an outrageous peek into hallowed halls, the “laugh out loud . . . Chambermaid is sure to strike a familiar chord for anyone who’s ever had a jerk for a boss” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).
