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.
