Promotion: open title and closing credit sequences
Ibis Films produced a set of open title and closing credit sequences for “Promotion”, a short film produced by Scabbard Entertainment. “Promotion” is a science fiction comedy short that parodies the inner workings of a starship like those seen in the Star Trek television series.
The credits were designed to reflect the look and feel of traditional elements found in the various title credits seen in the Star Trek television series. There were no exterior shots of the spacecraft in the actual film, so Ibis had free reign in the design of the ship and of the universe she would inhabit. Designer and animator Kevin Olmsted opted for a more rugged cargo or battle cruiser style of craft rather than the sleeker look of the Star Trek spacecraft.
