Egoyan wanted an animated title sequence for his logo using Armenian letters. Participants were given a free hand; no animation technique restrictions were imposed. They covered a diverse set of genres and techniques, including traditional animation, 3D animation and motion graphics, and software tools such as Maya 3D, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere and Adobe Flash. Garage Band was used to compose the music for each of the sequences. Of the 14 submissions, 3 were chosen by Egoyan for his website.
