When you came in the air went out

If you have been watching the recent American television drama series 'TrueBlood', you will know just how extraordinary the opening credits are. The Emmy-nominated title sequence shows clips of usual 'goings-on' in the deep South in which the drama is set. The music played ontop of the sequence is "Bad Things" by Jace Everett, the music superviser for the series said he wanted something that sounded "swampy, bluesy and spooky".

'In editing the opening, Digital Kitchen wanted to express how "religious fanaticism" and "sexual energy" could corrupt humans and make them animalistic. Accordingly, several frames of some shots were cut to give movements a jittery feel, while other shots were simply played back very slowly. Individual frames were also splattered with drops of blood.'

Below are some screen shots from the opening, it shows just how well shot it was, as each picture works as a single photo.
