PROLOGUE Live Action and Graphic Design

http://www.prologuefilms.com/

A group demands respect when their work precedes their name. The site itself is minimalistic, clean, and opts for a sleek interface. The straightforward interface is effectively juxtaposed against their advanced, professional and highly-polished digital work. With a whole slew of blockbuster movies’ opening credits authored by this group and an equally hi-tech website, viewers and clients are left with the impression that this group are wizards at motion design.

With the use of two colours and designs that imitate the preliminary sketches of storyboards, the site stays on target both in terms of unity of design, as well as in function of the site (as a portfolio site). The work is divided clearly into three types of media outlets (film reels, television, other media), navigation is clear and simple, and everything remains conveniently accessible in the side menu.

Looking beyond the no-frills website structure, their works really show how serious these guys are. With main title sequences done for big-name movies like Bridge to Terabithia, Curious George, Dawn of the Dead, Eurotrip (their intro sequence is my personal favourite), Spider-Man 2 and 3, and Superman Returns, it goes without saying that Prologue have been doing this sort of thing for a while, and doing it right.

Now if only I can be a creative wizard at time-based media and work for them… :P
