The Balsmeyer & Everett Archive

Balsmeyer & Everett (B&E) – the precursor company to Big Film Design – was a pioneering film title design and VFX company co-founded by Randy Balsmeyer and Mimi Everett in 1986. They collaborated with filmmakers such as Spike Lee (see Do The Right Thing above), David Cronenberg, Woody Allen, Jim Jarmusch, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Joel and Ethan Coen. They were also renowned for innovations in the world of visual effects, particularly in the development of the portable motion control camera system used for films such as Dead Ringers and Ghost. Below is a sample of titles from the B&E archive.
