Label Imaginary Forces Captures the Grandeur of China in The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Imaginary Forces Captures the Grandeur of China in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Entertainment and design company Imaginary Forces (IF) recently created the opening title sequence and end titles for Universal Pictures' summer blockbuster, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor."

The elegant and majestic end title sequence encapsulates the film's story, but paints it on a different canvas.

Karin Fong and Steve Fuller of Imaginary Forces set out to immortalize the film's tale in a stylized, mythological way.

Director Rob Cohen sets the third installment of the "Mummy" films in China, where trouble-seeking father-and-son duo Rick and Alex O'Connell (played by Brendan Fraser and Luke Ford, respectively) unearth the Dragon Emperor.

Fong and Fuller drew inspiration from the filmmaker's attention to detail to portray an accurate and historic China.

The sequence is a gorgeous brushstroke painting that comes to life, using a palette of stark and contrasting colors.

Viewers take an epic journey through the adventures and landscapes seen in the film, from the Himalayas to the desert, bridged together by Chinese calligraphy of the five elements -- water, wood, earth, metal and fire.
