Ever since I can remember, I’ve always appreciated and enjoyed creative intros and title sequences to movies. In fact they set the tone for how good or bad the movie will be.
I recently came across a site that’s dedicated to putting together the most stunning and creative film title sequences.
You know what they say about first impressions. That’s why both Hollywood and independent studios spend valuable time and resources to create the most appropriate main title sequences for their films. At its very best, a title sequence is a self-contained hybrid that combines several moving image techniques – film, animation, cg – to introduce a film.
On SubmarineChannel, we love a good main title. That’s why we started this online collection in 1997 of the most stunning and original film title sequences. Some are engaging and wildly entertaining, some are funny, exhilarating or simly deadly beautiful. Some are oozing with visual treats, while others hit you hard with their bold and audacious style.
Anyone else liked this? Sweeny Todd, what a way to start a movie!
I recently saw Rock N Rolla. Being a Guy Ritchie fan, I had no choice but to watch the movie. And though the movie wasn’t his best, it’s definitely a must see.
However, what really got me were the opening and closing credits of the movie.
They were completely animated and done in true Guy Ritche style.
I like the very grunge and ‘dirty’ feel given to the whole movie. And what I liked most was the way the movie begins; going in from an animated intro to the real deal and then the way it ends, from the real deal back to the animated outro.
For some odd reason I’ve been a big fan of this kind of story telling. And anyone who likes this style, should definitely watch Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels as well.
If anyone know who did the intro and outro, please do let us know.
For those interested in watching the opening credits, here they are:
Well, I had done a car ad for someone a couple of moths ago; here is the final piece I sent across…
(Well there were minor modifications to the bar on the top in this one, too lazy to locate and upload the final-final, but you get the idea! )
And here’s another option I had done, apart from the first one…
This has a very surreal feeling to it and I absolutely love the way it’s done.
It’s a fairly trippy experience if you have some Floyd playing in the background.
Do send in some more such videos if you find them, I’ll be more than happy to put them up here.
