The Pacific opening sequence

Jivan Dave posted this in his blog a couple months ago, and when I saw that The Pacific was nominated for a Golden Globe, I wanted to show this awesome title sequence designed by Imaginary Forces. It was also nominated for best main title design in the EMMY's. The inspiration was taken from "the history of battlefield sketchers". The charcoal is so sensual, leading into poetic procession of images. I like how the crumbling bits of charcoal visually represent explosions throughout the scenes.

Imaginary Forces is also responsible for the Mad Men opening sequence, and the spectacular Paul Rand short film (designers- if you haven't seen it yet, YOU MUST. It's worth it).
