Production & design company Imaginary Forces recently completed main titles and animated content for the new FOX sitcom "Back to You" starring Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton.
"Back to You," which premiered on September 19th, is the creation of sitcom veterans Steve Levitan ("Just Shoot Me") and "Frasier" writer- producer Christopher Lloyd.
In addition to designing and producing the main title sequence, Imaginary Forces also created animated transitions within the show itself.
The opening sequence was spearheaded by Imaginary Forces Director Steve Fuller.
It was executive produced for the studio by Maribeth Phillips and produced by Kelley McDermott.
The sitcom features Grammer as an LA news anchor who's recent fall from grace (an off-air rant captured on YouTube) prompts his return to his old news station in Pittsburgh where Heaton, his former co-anchor with whom he had one brief, drunken tryst, remains a local celebrity.
The main titles are executed in an illustrated style reminiscent of film title sequences in the 1960s, and take viewers on a journey from the cityscape into the inner workings of a newsroom.
Opening on the Pittsburgh skyline against a burnt yellow sky, the camera moves through 3D space through the various sound stages of the network building.
