 2 July: One of the eye-catching features of HBO's TV drama series Carnivàle was the meticulous art direction and the striking opening title sequence. The series won five Emmy's, including the 2004 Emmy for Outstanding Main Title Design. And deservedly so. The Carnivàle opener is one of the most thoroughly researched and immaculately executed TV titles.

The "making of" story reads a bit like a thriller in itself. See it here  |
