Hey, Typophiles --

So there I was, working on my new movie (a noir thriller, not another "Behind the Typeface"), fretting over the realization that I was going to need to come up with a bunch of names for the credits on some movie posters that will appear in the movie. Then it occurred to me that there's this huge bunch of people right in front of me whose names I'd love to include, since of course the movie has something to do with typography.

So here's the deal: respond here or email me with how you'd like your name to appear, and I guarantee your name will appear on at least one movie poster. I'll try to make them as legible as possible, though for verisimilitude they'll have to be in at least an approximation of that really condensed style that's on movie posters everywhere.

If you'd like your credit as having a particular role in a movie, be it actor, director, art director, director of photography, screenwriter, etc. (just not producer -- that part's taken care of), let me know that too, and I'll accommodate you as best I can. Made-up roles are also welcome, though I can't guarantee I'll use them.

A few lucky people will also have their names above the title, as they will be assigned roles of high-profile actors. (Sorry, I can't offer $20 million plus 20 percent of the back end to my name actors, just my undying thanks.) If you would like -- or not like -- to be one of those names, let me know.

Thanks -- hope to see you in my movie!

Malcolm x-height.

(I'm not sure I got your query :/
but reading Chris Lazos' I thought that name)

unknown

Put me in as the Naffer or the Key Drip. Or perhaps the Test Toy.

unknown

Chris, Alessandro, and John -- thanks very much. You shall be so credited. The posters are looking more official already!

Thanks to all who have replied via email as well.

There's still room for more...

unknown

Can I be an animal stunt double?

unknown

Count me in... as whatever needs be :-)

unknown

Heh, put me in as "Fat Man No. 3".

unknown

Me, me, I want in.. :-)

Don Davo

I'd like to be in on that, sounds like good fun!
'Kenn Munk' sounds like some obscure Star Wars character anyway.
Argh! can't think of any cast or crew title... Surprise me.

unknown

Gaffer?

unknown

Hrant, this is just waiting for a Notan credit.
After all it IS film noir.

If John gets to be the gaffer, I want to be the glyphic Grip.

unknown

Count me in: Dylan Menges

Title: "Kiss and Makeup", "Banana Peeler", "Sponge Squeezer" ... I dunno, surprise me. (Sorry, slamming on deadlines -- my brain hurts.)

:-)

unknown

I wouldn't mind being 'Post production boom operator'...
