discussion of your production company name and logo and the role of such companies:

Animatic Studios was chosen as my production company name because the process of storyboarding and animatic editing is something i favor and try to work on as much as possible, i feel it's these pre-visualization methods that benefit most to the connotation of moods and styles when pitching a project.
The logo just came to me when listening to Daft Punk who use a lot of triangular futurist art. The thought of a swiveling pyramid kept occurring to me, eventually leading me on to painstakingly animate it on 10 sheets of lined paper - as soon as i'd drawn the revolution of one face I could loop it as much as I wanted. I photographed each frame and placed them into final cut where it all came together.
I'd say the role of Animatic Studios would be taking a more in depth route of pre-production - working heavily with imagery, research and inspiration, much like a method actor.

the idea of a distributor and who that might be and why:

I think the ideal distributor for this movie would be one that deals mostly with younger audiences as they'd know how to piece together advertisements that attract them - it's likely these advertisements would have a really visual approach and i thinks that's appropriate for a film like this. MTV Films would be a good example.

where the money might have come from for a film such as yours:

Money would most probably have to come from quite a big-time company due to the heavy use of special effects, although this could be a risk as the larger coorperations may not think much about the art of the film, rather the money to be made, therefor intervening with design, story and cast.. I'd say something like FilmFour due to there high budget yet independent look..

why the various people are named in the titles- which jobs appear in titles and in what order and how have you reflected this?:

I didnt focus enough on titles to make this look totally like an opening.. instead it seemed far more like a trailer or teaser.
I wanted costume design to be a big part, mixing in nicely with the visuals. I thought companies like Levis and True Religion would be great as theyre both traditional original Cowboy Denim companies. this product placement would help funding but also marketing as it's likely spinoffs would appear in there adverts and products - much like mcdonalds and there movie popularization ways (with toys, etc).

what your film is similar to 'institutionally' (name some films which would be released in a similar way):

i'd say it'd be released in a way similar to a james bond movie, with products nspired by it, having large impacts on media and advertising styles in the periods leading up to and during it's release.. i think it's popularity should start early with little snippets and promo clips surfacing now and then to build hype, much like Cloverfeilds viral movies.

What's the demographic of your audience and how can we tell from the opening?:

i felt that the movie would appeal more to the rock oriented crowd due to the clothing choice and 1970's film style reference unexplored in most areas of say hip hop/trance..
also i'd say from early teens onwards to 50's as many different aspects of the films themes can be identified throughout the different age ranges e.g. cowboy westerns, Muse (rock band with similar music video), john woo films.
