The Art Of The Title Sequence
One very inspirational source for visually creative people like VJs and motion graphers are title sequences of feature films or tv productions and series.
They are perfectly choreographed extracts of what is forthcoming, they are their own form of music videos or short films and the creative use of typography can be mind blowing…
…creative people’s minds only, of course.
There are so many things to learn, like the perfect timing, compressed dramaturgy and the creative use of graphics, contrast, color and typography orbiting around one theme, all clenched into 1 to 3 minutes.
In the case of the (opening) titles, the theme is the story that comes after the title closes, which adds anymore to the tension.
And for some of us it even is addictive to collect those tiny pieces of motion gems and to watch it over and over again.
The girls and boys of artofthetitle.com know of this addiction and they decided to act as our dealers, to provide us with our daily dose of titles of the highest quality.
And this blog really proves, that (unfortunately) sometimes the title sequence is far better, than what comes afterwards.
See yourself…
