WUT IT IS WILL BLOG YOU

We have just delivered the Main Title and Package Design of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” premiering Monday Night, March 1st @ 11pm on NBC. With very little time to turn around a complete show package, Director Pete Conlon and Tech Director Brian Yarnell of WUT IT IS decided to go with a primarily live action piece that depended less on their fancy post techniques and more on in-camera-magic, the kind of magic that can only be captured by a really talented cinematographer. WUT IT IS teamed up once again with sister company MIRROR FILMS and called on Vasco Nunes (DIG!, ANVIL! The Story of Anvil, Planet B-Boy) to grind the cameras and lenses into dust. Pete Conlon wanted an imperfect, run and gun, hand made look to the footage. Vasco Nunes, using two Canon 7Ds, a variety of lenses and an endless knowledge of light and color, interpreted those directions perfectly and really captured the energy of Los Angeles and the City’s night life. The end result is a “real” Los Angeles and a “real” city at night vibe. Combine that energy with the prestige of “The Tonight Show”, and you get a unique and uncommon show package that stands out among the late night show crowd. WUT IT IS does it again….keeps it “real”, and all that.
Check back soon! We will be posting boards, a break down of the design process, and a directors cut to compare to the NBC Exec version.

Premiere Friday, April 23 at 8p (e/p)!

We just finished working with “The” Bruce Timm and some other awesome folks over at Warner Brothers Animation on a very kick ass TWO MINUTE MAIN TITLE SEQUENCE for “Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths”.  This feature film is a killer piece of work that we all enjoyed here at the WUT IT IS studio.  Boasting an All-star voice cast led by Mark Harmon (NCIS) as Superman, James Woods (Ghosts of Mississippi) as Owlman, Chris Noth (Sex and the City, Law & Order) as Lex Luthor, William Baldwin (Dirty Sexy Money) as Batman, Gina Torres (Serenity, Firefly) as Super Woman and Bruce Davison (X-Men) as the President. C2E is action packed, surprisingly violent (which is awesome of course) and kept us glued to the screen.  Run to the store and get yo self a copy NOW!

Warner Home Video

An original story from award-winning animation/comics writer Dwayne McDuffie (Justice League) rooted in DC Comics’ popular canon of “Crisis” stories.

Bruce Timm (Superman Doomsday, Green Lantern) is executive producer.
Lauren Montgomery (Wonder Woman, Green Lantern) and Sam Liu (Superman/Batman: Public Enemies) are co-directors.

Synopsis: In Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, a “good” Lex Luthor arrives from an alternate universe to recruit the Justice League to help save his Earth from the Crime Syndicate, a gang of villainous characters with virtually identical super powers to the Justice League. What ensues is the ultimate battle of good versus evil in a war that threatens both planets and, through a diabolical plan launched by Owlman, puts the balance of all existence in peril.

So, I’m just waking up from the premiere party of  the new smash hit show MEGADRIVE on MTV. Show host Johnny Pemberton, EP Rob Anderson, and I were up drinking till 4Am on Johnny’s roof. It sure was difficult swapping war stories on such a pointy, angular roof…i mean most people have a “roof deck”, or at LEAST a flat surface to sit on when they invite you to their “roof”. Check out our opening sequence when you have a second. We really just wanted to make something out of cardboard and glue for a change, can you blame us?
