Most of my work for film was that of designing and typesetting end credits. Most of the films were unknown and forgettable. A few were more famous, or perhaps "notorious." However, I was privileged to work with two-time Academy Award-winning designer, Saul Bass, on a film called, Quest. The story was written by the world-renowned writer, Ray Bradbury. Below are the pieces I did for the film, plus some stills from the film itself. If you are interested, the film can be purchased from Pyramid Media, Santa Monica, California, USA ( www.pyramidmedia.com). It is available in both VHS and DVD.

This closeup of the inverted pyramid structures was ultimately not used in the film. Ahh-h, but look at the details. That stone looks ancient!
