Title sequences

Motion graphics title sequences chosen for their use of colour, clever icons and professional timing.

Casino Royale - an obvious choice to look at but I always hoped that someday this title sequence would pop up in my work, because I remember thinking it was one of the most memorable bits of the film! I just love how everything links so smoothly together and I know I couldn't produce something of that standard at this stage but I hope to take aspects of it into my work, such as clever use of shapes, silhouettes and strong colours, that all make adding live video shots irrelevant and unnecessary.



Three others that stick in my mind are the title sequences from Monsters Inc. which I couldn't resist putting on, the very clever Catch Me If You Can that outlines the title and plot in a very gripping, silhouetted chase linking in each frame subtly, and Spiderman's opening sequence that simply involves a 3D view of type and spider-web.

Christmas TV idents

Whilst I am trying to come up with a film genre that I want to use for my idents, I saw some festive idents that caught my eye so had to put them on here.

Film4 season idents

For this brief I need to portray a genre of films, similar to how film4 works their audience, enticing them to watch what's coming up. However, this is going to be done with motion graphics and without the use of video to work with so I need to think about other aspects e.g. colour, tone of voice, typefaces, timing and even music to promote a season of films.



I could even create my film genre idents for a specific, existing channel to give them some grounding and branding. I came across an interesting sequence of itv2 idents and thought this could be an appropriate channel to work with. However, I couldn't upload the videos, so I have just left links for now.
