With nods to late night literary advertising and a graphical homage to the covers found on Penguin published books, this opening for *smilefaucet, a serial DVD project, desires the viewer to "undo" text presented on the screen. The fictitious book titles shown are anagrams and can be solved using the graphical hints provided adjacent to them. Once solved, the resulting text concerns a contemporary idea or occurrence that many in today's world may wish they could "undo". These subjects include The Patriot Act, Middle East Intervention, and Walter Reed.

Wooden models of the book covers were hand crafted to exploit a simple visual illusion of scale and then combined digitally with other text and graphic elements.

Links to a cryptology key to undo the anagrams and images of the wooden book models can be found here

    Hopefully they had this info at the party or on their website. We're not part of smilefaucet, so we wouldn't know about any of their dvd logistics.

    Glad the party was fun!

    as the person above me said, well done! awesome project! and great timing, guys! :]
    ...i gotta ask u, i bet youre using after effects. i wanted to know how do u make the audio-appear on the timeline, so when u scrub through-u can actually hear it? thus, enabling u to time and sync it to the image?
    i cant seem to hear audio..only after the render.. :\

    thanx! and keep up the good work! :]
