Pacific
Last night I caught the first of 10 episodes of Pacific, the sister mini-series to Band of Brothers. While I thought the episode was a huge success, the introduction made an even bigger impact. Charcoal drawings crumble into Japanese Ink paintings, which melt into stunning black and white photography and then seamlessly morph into video. There is a clear connection between the charcoal breaking and exploding bombs and the red-ink in the Japanese ink-drawings and bloodshed. It's captivating, smart, relevant and moving.
I realize this is sort of a dreary topic for a Monday morning, but if you're in the Northeast today, you'll understand.
Anyone know which studio is responsible?

It's stunning and gritty, yet beautiful! Extremely well done.
Had not seen this yet. The crushing of the charcoal transitioning into the mortar rounds exploding was the most powerful part for me. Now I want to see the series. Thanks for sharing.
