A graduate of the Atlanta College of Art, Sarah Paul has been working as a visual effects artist for over eight years. Her digital work in GHOST OF THE NEEDLE created the ghost in the negative effect in the darkroom and heightened other practical effects.
 
Brian says, “Like all good digital effects, you don’t recognize them when you see them. It’s about getting that extra ten percent, in Sarah’s case twenty percent, you couldn’t afford to achieve pratically on location.”
 


However, her most dramatic contribution to the look of the film is clearly visible. Sarah designed and created the opening title sequence of the film which sets the tone as well as gives an important clue if you pay attention.
