Many thanks for the link and the kind response. As for the Oscar, I thought we were going to have joint Calgary — er, custody.

Wah ha ha.

haha great! now i know why…

by the way, dont mean to spoil the thread, but can anybody tell me what font the poster for ‘stay cool’ is set in (about 1/3 in the movie)? been after it for a while now!
if its coded within the title or something, then its probably late and im tired : )

thanks,

It’s Gothic 821 with snow added in Illustrator. I tried going to one of the snowy fonts, but not even the commercial ones looked decent.

great, thanks!
i was after the font, not the effect, so that works : )

thinking about it, a really far fetched connection would have been to use a retro refrigerator font like magneto

…

…naah

It was brilliant, audacious and wacky all in one short.

Brilliant in the sense that one could create a mystery storyline around the overuse of a typeface (Trajan at that) and pull in a reference to Nero without getting too cerebral?

Audacious in the daring use of a capital T, surrounded by flaming columns. Rob Cohen eat your heart out.

Wacky as in the-calling-card-of-the-villain-is-a-chisel wacky and the-characters-die-from-using-the-wrong-font wacky.

My favorite part is how clicking your mouse spastically will automatically bring up images of Trajan’s column.

And then of course, the fire. I kept thinking.. The Great T Has Spoken!

Apart from liking the general storyline, and, yes, OD’ing on Trajan, I fell seriously in love with the white on black credits. Want that font. Badly. What is it?

Digged the soundtrack as well.
