MOTION PICTURE CREDITS

Reading the credits these days, after viewing a movie can take almost as long as the drive home, if one lives near the theater. Credits today, go on and on. Small print, whote over black, travelling so fast.

It's interesting to see a movie at Lucas Digital Arts screening room, in San Francisco. or Pixar Animation studios, in Emeryville. No one, I mean no one dares to get up at these film studios, until most of credits have rolled by, which is certainly understandable.

My favorite film credits to watch, the best work ever, was the late, great, Saul Bass. During the 50's and 60's, Sau was the greatest graphic artist in show biz. Ever see his work, at opening of "North By Northwest?" The credits appear sideways, across the U.N. Building.
