The Walking Dead Opening Titles
I’ve already gushed my excitement over the coming small screen adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s highly addictive zombie comic The Walking Dead (I’ve made it to issue 71), but now I’m all fired up again after seeing Daniel Kanemoto’s frankly kick ass (unofficial) opening title sequence.
From Kanemoto:
Just so there’s no confusion, I’m not affiliated with the production in any way — I’m simply a huge fan of both Frank Darabont and Robert Kirkman, and this is my attempt at creating a cinematic introduction to one of the all time great “continuing stories of survival horror.”
Unless Imaginary Forces are already elbow deep into this, I suggest AMC save themselves the time and effort and just assign that budget line to Kanemoto. I’m also thinking that he should be given a gig creating inter-titles from the comics’ front covers for each episode.
