Movie title sequences
How big a movie fan are you? Do you get to the cinema early so you can watch the trailers or do you leave it until the last minute so you just catch the start of the main feature?
Me? I love movies. Especially those with an added design element at the beginning.
I was browsing through my Google Reader earlier when I came across a great little sub-site called, Forget the film, watch the titles. It’s a collection of title sequences put into the following categories – animation, motion graphics, 3D, mixed and comedy. The collection is small at present but it’s growing. Thankfully one of my favourite sequences is in there – the animated one from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Sadly the film didn’t live up to the opening.
Thanks to fade theory for flagging this one, and thanks for the previous posts’ comments: Dawud.

Some people are so horribly talented it’s not fair.

I have been wanting to find a website that did this for ages…now where is Saul Bass?
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is my absolute favourite title sequence too!! I however thought the film was rather good as well. That site is one of my favourite. I am doing my honours minor on The typographic rules and how film titles break them (or not) effectively. Going to be great if I can complete it in time…
If you have any input, I would greatly appreciate it! cheers!
Lee mentions Saul Bass, and I second his question. I’m guessing you’ve already taken a look at his title sequence work?
Here are some movie title sequences from Saul Bass.
