"SE7EN" CREDIT TYPOGRAPHY PREPRODUCTION & PRODUCTION - NEW LINE CINEMA ↓

The main title sequence for Se7en depended on the collaboration of many talents at RGA/LA and composition notebooks props created by Artists Clive Piercy and John Sabel. Artist & Photographer Joel-Peter Witkin’s works of art provided a source of inspiration for the sequence. "Witkin's techniques include scratching the negative, bleaching or toning the print, and using a hands-in-the-chemicals printing technique. This experimentation began after seeing a 19th-century ambrotype of a woman and her ex-lover who had been scratched from the frame."

TC collaborated with Jennifer Shainin and Findlay Bunting on the main title sequence credit creations. Oversized kodalith acetate projections where filmed with a vintage wind-up camera on two separate days.
