I was just thinking about the UI on a lot of shows/movies and how rarely we see any UI like it in the real world. Even those 'FBI databases mainframes...' that a character hacked into do not look anything like that in real life.

This is pretty cool and fits in well in 'Hollywood'. Now I want to find a project that I can actually use a similar UI on haha.

I love the 'Hollywood' look as well, and a recent hobby of mine has been to recreate some of my favorite ones for the web. It has been a great learning experience.

It's interesting how certain techniques seem to come up over and over again... like they almost always use complex intro/exit animations for every element and additive blending over dark backdrops.

That's... just stunning. I'm bookmarking your site. Please continue this great work!

Thanks, that's very kind of you to say that. I really appreciate it.

Would you care to write a "behind the scenes" blog post about them? These are awesome.

When v1 got posted (about a year ago?) one of Anand's (the creator) roommates chimed in on HN, saying that they had watched Iron Man together and that Anand had been taking notes on the UI/UX the whole time which he incorporated into his design. I imagine you'd be able to find more movie inspiration in the design if you look closely.

Oh I def see that inspiration. I've been watching "Arrow" recently and they have a lot of interesting UI on that show too.
