Sep 2 2008Meet the Guy Who Makes Floating Head Movie Posters
Ever wonder who makes all those movie posters where actors' faces float like the night's precious fireflies shaped like Morgan Freeman's head? It's all the work of Mr. Gavin Berliner, and here's a short documentary about just how he does it, and how Hollywood's decision not to use his 17-headed Crash poster probably cost the film a second Best Picture Oscar.

That's the guy from those fast-food chain Sonic commercials!

It's only funny because it's painfully true... the best designs rarely emerge from the initial presentation, left to waste for the sake of being "too artsy", "too ambiguous" or minimizing the key talent. Good find.

Ha ha. It's true! It always is some shade of autumnal light! Unless it's an action movie, in which case, it tends toward "frozen blue."
