And though they’ve been around since the advent of commercial cinema, never before have title sequences been as much in the limelight as they are today. “The Reel World: New York”offers up a rare opportunity to see the Big Apple’s greatest motion-graphics gurus on the same stage describing the methods and meanings behind this ever-evolving art form.
