[Sonali Gulati]

wow! I didn’t realize that my DVD menu design was being dissected here until one of my students directed me to this page.
Well, to answer your question, the part where my name shows up and fades out is something I did in Final Cut Pro and it’s the tail end of the intro movie that you see. The menu starts with selecting sum total etc. There is one main menu with 8 buttons. When one selects the button, the name of the film vanishes from the polaroid image and shows up at the bottom and a short looped clip from the film plays within the polaroid button. when one hits enter, the menu disappears and the film plays.
This DVD menu was created using Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, and Adobe Photoshop.
