Experts in Film Title Sequences
Hi all,
Not too sure if this is the best place to post this Q but as so many film title sequences seem to use AE I thought it might be a good place to start.
Anyway, I’m putting together a piece on film title sequences which will look at the history and the leading players in the field nowadays. I know about Saul Bass, Maurice Binder, Kyle Cooper/Imaginary Forces and the Picture Mill but was wondering who you guys thought were the top title sequence companies/artists in the field today and who should definitely feature in such a piece?
Also apart from the jump from creating titles by hand to using computers, do you think technology advances have had an effect on the progression of the title sequence industry?
Thanks for your help
Marvin

I would add the one of the Terry Gilliam openings for Monty Python Flying Circus and/or that impressive secuence at the beginning of Catch me if you can by Kuntzel + Deygas.
As a comment I would point out that Motion tracking + Rotoscoping has become so affordable to do, it’s created a style, as text integrates with the backround, becoming part of it and being put behind moving elements. I think the first time I saw something like that was in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and it took a lot of time to become what it is today (say a lot of spots and that impressive Panic Room opening)
