Title Sequence Project - Research

• Saul Bass - 'Spartacus' 
• Article - Features an interesting title sequence plus information on creating titles for TV and Film. 
• Article - Talks about movie title sequences, focusing on the new Juno movie. Saying that it rare to see creative sequences in films. It also talks about the process the designers went through to produce the Juno sequence, i was surprised how much of the imagery was handmade. Juno title sequence was produced by Shadow Play Studio.

• DIGITAL KITCHEN - I always liked the title sequences for the TV shows, 'Six Feet Under' & ' NIPTUCK', very emotive. Remember them seeming quite apart from anything else at the time, they are almost like film titles. Heres a link that shows how Digital Kitchen put together the Six Feet Under sequence, interesting too see how they develop the idea.  Website - D-Kitchen

• SubMarineChannel - Good site for title sequence; animation, motion graphics, mixed media and 3D. Point to consider is how much typography is integrated into imagery, or wether it sits separated on the screen. 

Used to watch the spaghetti westerns (Good,Bad and the Ugly) when i was younger, think the little dissolves,washes and light burn transitions that reveal a mono colour image are really effective. Website - Submarinechannel.com

MUTO by Blu
Really liked this piece produced by Blu, fluid imagery changing with the environment. Also the time involved.

Lots more too be found on the website.

• Kyle Cooper. Has made a name for himself as one of the best designers, seems that all the sequences you see, he's done it. Recent piece that really captures the essence of the film is the end sequences of 'Iron Man'

• Terry Gilliam - title sequence work, Monty Python work is just the best, i liked the way Gilliam used to rip apart found imagery such as old paintings and collage them. Turning them into something with complete contrast to the original use.

• James Bond Title Sequences - Different Designers - The title sequences for the Bond films have always had a strong identity. Usually containing a gun and plenty of ladies, the sequences are often reflective of the theme in the movie. Scale is used in an effective way. Something i've often enjoyed about the sequences is they appear a few minutes into the film, with the sequence often tied into footage. Not forgetting the use of a powerful music score over the top to set the mood. Website - James Bond Title Sequences over the years
