Bob Kurtz was born in LA, California and graduated from the Chouinard Art Institute .

My philosophy is fairly simple, I am a communicator. Therefore the message comes first, then the graphics. I want to stimulate, excite, scare or create laughter. I dont want a passive audience. I dont expect a captive audience. It is the film artist`s obligation to reach out and touch the audience; to rediscover and share our common humanity. Founder of the Burbank-based animation studio Kurtz & Friends, writes, designs and directs entertainment films and television commercials. Recently completed was a segment for Steven Spielberg`s Minority report.

Here are some work that Bob Kurtz worked on: George of the Jungle (main titles) Jurassic Park ("Mr. DNA" animated sequence) The Pink Panther (main titles) (2006) Minority Report ("Pine & Oats" animated sequence)

Are We Done Yet? (main titles)

Honey, I Blew Up The Kid (main titles)

Mise-en-scene
The colour of typography that has been used for the name of the movie has been written in pink to connote the Pink Panther diamond. There has been a use of dark blue, orange and pink colours throughout the title sequence, these use of colours could mean the different colours that reflect of the diamond when the light hits on the edges. The enigma for this movie might be, How did the Pink Panther get stolen?, who stole the Pink Panther?
The type of music that has been used throughout the title sequence is Jazz, this give a classy feel to the movie and it also might give a hint to where the established setting might be (classy, rich place). The title sequence also establishes what the movie might be about, throughout the sequence you see a detective trying to find the Pink Panther. So this movie might be about a stolen diamond (Crime).

Mise-en-scene
The typography that has been used in the title sequence is quiet cartoony, this could connote the children involved in the movie. The colours that have been throughout the title sequence are very neutral and dull almost dull. These colours could connote the broadness of the children waiting for their dad to finish building. The enigma for this movie might be What are they building? Who are they building it for? The type of music that has been used throughout this title sequence is Hip-Hop, this could connote to what type of family they might be. The title sequence also establishes what the movie might be about, throughout the sequence you see a blue print (for something) in the background. So this could suggest that the dad and the children are going to be building something together.

JURASSIC PARK

Steven Spielberg and I have done three films so far. Steven has yet to make any changes on my work. Not on the storyboard, not in the pencil test and not in the final animation. Yes, I like working with Steven . . .
