Stranger Than Fiction (2006) Opening Sequence



This is quite possibly the best introduction to a character I have ever seen in a film. The use of motion tracked graphics (by Design company MK12) gives you an insight into the the mathmatical and clinical life of Harold.

The tracking for the motion is brilliant and the lighting really makes the motion seem as if it is in the live footage. The motion acts as a visual of Harolds thoughts and are a collection of numbers, diagrams and graphs.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any traking programs that this effect could have been achieved on?

I love this intro to the film, very ocd, reminds me of an animation I saw last week. Its amazing how well a character can be portrayed in such a short sequence. a daily routine or lack of one can tell a lot. good choice!
