Brief 5.1 | Title Sequence Research

Inspirational Title Sequences from past to present as a starting point for my version of Snow White's Title Sequence...

When it comes to title sequences, there is no way around Saul Bass. He is the greatest creator of title sequences in history. He has an unique style of telling 'the' story in a compressed time and with visual rich information:

Saul Bass

The Human Factor


Exodus


Psycho


Anatomy of murder




Maurice Binder

Moonraker


Licence to Kill



Other influences:

Pedro

Almost like an illuminated manuscript come to life.


Lemon Snicket's a serious of unfortunate events

One of the most memorable and credible title sequences/openings in the recent years created by Jamie Caliri. What is appealing is the very dark and sinister atmosphere (aiming for my own snow white title sequence) combined with the playful music and rich visual elements.


Subprime

Very clear evolution is shown throughout some clever scene changes and adding up layers.


Mr Magoriums Wonder

Playing homage to vintage/retro toys and typical film title sequence design from the 50's.


RocknRolla

Danny Yount designed this 'banging' sequence design. Based on still images and masks.


Kite Runner

Simply designed title sequence with rich typography and calligraphy elements.


Catch me if you can

Designed by Ken Ferris and parallels to Saul Bass very clear. Edgy style with basic strokes and lines.


Thank you for smoking

Simple story told by the use of different cigarette packages with bold movement.
