Film Titling Inspiration

Watchmen:

The Watchmen Opening Titles por ypsilon2 no Videolog.tv.



Thank You for Smoking:


The use of vintage packaging to showcase the titles is a great approach. This title sequence resonates with me because of its attention to great graphic design and attention to detail with the transition from one title frame to another.


Dr. Strangelove:


The combination of U.s. Military footage and the long lined hand-rendered text is a great contrast. I love the juxtaposition of innocent orchestral music paired with the footage of flying through the air and re-feuling a bomber. This is a classic for a reason.. it rules.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang:


The strong graphic approach and attention to transitions keeps this one at the top of my list. I admire the retro approach to reinforce the influence of film noir on the story and feel the titles really set you up to understand the direction of the film.
