yU+co also created the film’s stereoscopic 3D main-on-end sequence and credit crawl, along with the main title and main-on-end sequences for this summer’s blockbuster, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
‘’The opening sequence was important to set up the backstory: there’s a whole mythology from the Green Lantern comic books that most people don’t know going into the movie,’’ Yu says. ‘’So the sequence has to fill you in on that legend before the movie starts. Aside from getting the information across, we wanted to establish a feeling for the world — a big, epic journey through space that says: ‘this is a big superhero movie.’’’
Rendered in stereoscopic 3D and perfectly wed to the resonant voiceover from actor Geoffrey Rush, the main title sequence opens with a shot of a green orb known as the ”emerald energy of will power” hovering in space. As the camera slowly pulls into the orb, we discover the planet Oa at its center, inhabited by the Guardians who oversee the universe and its 3,600 sectors — each with its own protective Green Lantern. As the giant animated emerald ring that gives each Green Lantern its superpower rushes toward the camera, it splinters into numerous streaks of green light that recall the look of fireflies, only moving in a precise military formation.
The lights then form a green-hued navigational grid that visually conveys the idea that there are many Green Lanterns all around the universe working together as intergalactic peacekeepers. Following a heroic shot of the Green Lantern logo, yU+co introduces us to The Green Lantern’s nemesis, an entity of fear known as the Parallax — seen as a fiery yellow ball of energy and light with an ominous-looking skull at its core. The final shot of the sequence depicts the face of Abin Sur, the only Green Lantern to ever defeat Parallax, encased in a purple mist and wearing an emerald ring on his outstretched hand.
‘’The energy of willpower is the key to the Green Lantern,’’ Yu adds.  ‘’It’s the source of his power. We took our cue from the visual effects in the movie, but created our own look for the opening — something that visualizes energy because the battle between the green energy of will, and the yellow energy of fear is key to film’s plot.  For the face of Abin Sur we wanted to set up this character so that the audience recognize him when they see him later. The design challenge was to stylize him as part of the nebula but still see him as Abin Sur. We overcome this challenge by projecting his purple face onto a 3D cloud like structure and composited it as part of the galaxy.’’
A Film Classic Provides Inspiration
Where the main title sequence was an exercise in digital creativity, for the main-on-end-sequence yU+co decided to incorporate an organic technique that was used to great effect in the sci-fi classic ”2001: A Space Odyssey.”
To create the unusual patterns of light and color that serve as the back drop for the key credits — rendered in striking green type before disappearing into vapor trails — yU+co used the high-res RED camera to shoot a variety of colored paints and lacquers as they’re poured into water and quickly spreads out. Those images, when blown up in size and composited into the 3D background, created the unusual effect and instantly resembled nebulas in our galaxy. The sequence was made even more powerful when perfectly edited to the guitar-infused techno soundtrack.
‘’It is important to think of 3D in the design stage, so you actually create a truly stereoscopic sequence,’’ Yu notes. ‘’For the opening, we tried to maximize the 3D effect by constantly moving past and through objects, nebulas and energy fields. All of the design events and elements are staged in stereo so they are all in truly logical 3D space. Without logic behind it the design won’t make sense.’’
In other yU+co news, in addition to their work on ”Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” the company is currently working stereoscopic 3D title sequences for the upcoming ‘’Conan the Barbarian’’ reboot (Lionsgate) and ‘’Dolphin Tale’’ (Warner Bros.). The company also recently worked on the trailer for just released Ubisoft’s game ”Call of Juarez: The Cartel.”

Demonstrating they are smarter than the average design/production studio, yU+co. crafted a glorious stereoscopic 3D main-on-end title sequence for the new Warner Bros animated film Yogi Bear. Led by Synderela Peng, Art Director on the design and Richard Taylor, VFX Director on the production, and Producer Sarah Coatts, the team created a sequence that cleverly incorporates stylistic elements of Saul Bass with the madcap nature of Hanna-Barbera’s animation to create something truly its own.

”Designing in stereoscopic is very different than designing in 2D,” states Founder/Creative Director Garson Yu. ”You have to offset the conversion process and bring things closer to the audience as well as further away to create that depth and dimension. You also have to give the audience enough time to enjoy the stereoscopic sensation, so you can’t be too ‘cutty’ with scenes.”
Although yU+co. is no stranger to stereoscopic 3D, having created the 2D and 3D main-on-end title sequence to Shrek Forever After and the 3D logo for 3Ality Digital, Yogi Bear offered them the chance to accomplish more both creatively and technically in the 3D world.
‘’The initial concept was ‘Saul Bass in stereo’ — a clear use of shapes and lines that Bass’ classic designs are known for, but married to the playfulness of the Hanna-Barbera animation style,” says Art Director Synderela Peng. ‘’We decided to show only silhouettes of main characters because we didn’t want to mimic the 3D animation style seen in the film or the original look from 1960s cartoon. We knew the silhouettes would work because the image of Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo are so iconic that people would recognize them even without seeing their faces.”
Set to a rousing song by the alternative rock band Weezer, the ‘’Yogi Bear’’ title sequence begins with a series of red and orange hued vertical lines as an array of fruit falls all around. Suddenly the chase is on as we see Yogi and Boo Boo silhouetted in the background driving a cart that drags a line of picnic tables filled with food, while the alarmed Ranger tries to stop them. The sequence cleverly uses food in every frame, such as cotton candy and popcorn clouds, trees with marshmallow flowers and giant turkey legs, watermelon slices, sandwiches, cherry pie and hot dogs that dot the landscape and serve as a surface for the credit typography.
Some of the noteworthy scenes in the sequence include a nod to the Super Mario Bros., as Yogi and Boo Boo escape the Ranger by jumping and climbing various food items; and a scene in which Yogi and Boo Boo ride a raft down a waterfall.
‘’Once we agreed on the use of the silhouette concept, the challenge became to create enough gags to carry the sequence through,” says Edwin Baker, yU+co’s writer/designer. ‘’We wanted to use the food in abstract ways that helped expand the visual language. The transitions needed to be clever, surprising and fluid. With the stereoscopic we wanted to find new ways to push the food landscape and make it more fun and exciting.’’
Among the key creative choices yU+co made was to bring a team traditional cel animators aboard to create the silhouetted version of Yogi, Boo Boo, the ranger and a new turtle character, created using Flash. While it may seem to some unnecessary to have a cell animation team work on silhouettes, Peng noted that a lot of expression needed to be conveyed in the arm and leg movements of the main characters.
‘’Because you don’t see any facial expressions, it was imperative that we work with character animators because we needed a clear articulation of what the characters are doing based only on arm and legs movements,’’ Peng says. ‘’Arms and legs had to show the emotions like joy, fear and frustration — very subtle movements and completely different from the motion graphics.’’
”Thanks to the film’s producer Donald De Line, we had the opportunity to work on this film which gave our design team another added dimension to use their storytelling talents,” comments Yu. ”As a result, we’ve developed a great 3D pipeline to produce stereoscopic work and our team can handle just about any kind of project that’s out there.”
In other yU+co news, the company recently completed work on the main-on-end title sequence for the feature length documentary Waiting for Superman, which was selected as Best Documentary by the National Board of Review and the title sequence for Universal Pictures’ recent box office hit, Little Fockers.
