Under Karin Fong's leadership, Imaginary Forces, best known for its innovative movie titles, has expanded into new territory: commercial work for companies such as Microsoft, Pepsi, and Target, and design experiences for architectural spaces like the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the redesigned Lincoln Center. "Our essence is in film-title work," says Fong. "But it's through that concentrated effort that we've been able to expand our brain trust into multiple mediums." Fong is a master of cinematic storytelling in a compact space; her work in The Pink Panther 2 inspired film critic Roger Ebert to recall "the golden age of credits."

Quotes

"Animation yields huge opportunities for surrealism. You can make your own logic. The nice thing about working in this medium is that you can combine techniques, old and new. The computer is a fantastic collage-box. All kinds of drawings, photography and textures can be mashed together both by hand and then even further in the machine. They don’t have to be or look digital."
