Hi, loving the show more than words can express, and I haven't been into tv for years.

My question is about the opening sequence. I personally love that it's just the shot of "Lost" floating up into the screen, but wondered if there will be a a "traditional" opening sequence in the future with a theme song (God no) and pictures of the cast. Any ideas?

Funny thing, the title card...

While we were in post production on the pilot (a VERY rushed experience, that), I made the floating "LOST" word on my trusty 12" Apple laptop.* It was always meant to be temporary.* The weird tones you hear was something I did on the Mac as well.* Before we aired the first episodes, we actually hired a pro title company to put together a title sequence.* I wrote a theme song (even recorded an orchestra playing it), but at the end of the day, it all felt... well, not like the show.* While it was FINE, what it FELT like was a typical TV show, and it just didn't get us excited.

That one 3D word, just floating toward the camera, out, then in, then out of focus, just felt like LOST.* So we kept it.* And now, every time I see it on air, it makes me laugh, 'cause it was just a goofy placeholder that's now on national TV every week.

Continued props to the Macintosh.

well I knew it was unusual for a show, but as you said, it does seem to fit better than a "normal" opening for the show. I am quite happy with how it looks. Being an amateur graphic designer myself, I recognized it as digital, but loved the effect. Thanks for the answer and for the best show to come around in a very long time.
