Primal Screen's Sundance Openers

Atlanta-based Primal Screen has produced two preshow animation pieces—"Fireplay" and "Spark City"—for the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, currently taking place in Utah. "Spark City" (above), which plays out as a 6-minute animation loop, looks like it packs quite a visual punch. Brew pal Ward Jenkins, who designed the piece and directed the animation, has more notes about the making of the animation on his blog Ward-O-Matic. Other credits on the piece include Rick Newcomb, who did colors, effects, compositing and was in charge of the overall project, and Flash animation by Joe Kubesheski, Joanna Davidovich and Jeremy Seymour.
