Title Sequence
Toca Me 2013
We’re big fans of the impressive festival openings which have come to hearalded events such as Offf, but every now and then it’s nice to ramp down from these high spectacle, epic narratives to instead enjoy something that’s more relaxed in its pacing. Created for this year’s edition of the Toca Me design conference, Timo [...]
The Film before The Film
Whether you love their artistry or can’t wait for them to get out of your way, you’ve probably seen hundreds of opening title sequences through the years. As I’m firmly in the former camp, I always have time for projects which celebrate the work of the unsung heroes of image and type, such as The [...]
MEDI Title Sequence
David-Jan Bronsgeest’s forthcoming short MEDI tells the story of a woman losing herself in her limitless imagination. Aware that a large portion of the short depicts the visual effects of her hallucinatory world, Dutch Film Academy visual effects student Guido Ekker set out to create a unique and challenging title sequence. Together with fellow students [...]
MTV EMA 2012 Director’s Cut on Vimeo
We love a good zoetrope here at DN, whether it’s Mark Simon Hewis’ life sized approach or David Wilson’s wolf headed promo for Moray McLaren (OK technically that one uses praxinoscopes, but you know what we mean). A new addition to our persistence of vision video favourites comes from Mate Steinforth at Germany studio Sehsucht, [...]
OFFF México 2012: Once, When We Were Young
Six friends come of age at the end of the world in Rob Chiu’s stunning dramatic short within a title sequence for OFFF Mexico. The film was shot over three days on the Red Epic in Mexico City, with Chiu expertly marshalling his cast of non actors to convey friendship unravelling into ultimate tragedy. Once, [...]
OFFF Barcelona 2012 Main Titles
Is there a festival out there which hands out awards for the best festival titles? If so, I’m saying that OFFF Barcelona would sweep the board once again with their galactic threat, mixed media piece crafted by Brosmind and Upper First. This year’s titles are equally astounding, but about as different in tone and form [...]
The 2011 Portfolio
Around this time last year Gen I. strapped us in for Filmography 2010, a 6 minute run through the year’s cinema releases. This time round we have a new guide in Hatinhand (aka Alex Eylar) who traversed 166 films, accompanied by 6 songs, over a month of uploading and editing. The resulting 2011 Portfolio is [...]
Worn Out
Ryan Kothe’s beautifully imagined title sequence Worn Out is “Based on how objects slowly deteriorate and wear down.” Worn Out from Ryan Kothe on Vimeo. If you’re interested in how Worn Out was created be sure to have a read of the Kickstartboom interview with Kothe.
Bunraku Opening Title Sequence
Way back when DN was still young we featured Guilherme Marcondes’ short Tyger and also had him join us for an interview. So I was pleased to see Guilherme applying his puppetry/animation skills to the stunning title sequence for Guy Moshe’s Bunraku. The folks over at Art of the Title have a great interview with [...]
A History of the Title Sequence
If ever there’s a design documentary that absolutely needs to exist, it’s on the art and craft of the title sequence and those pioneers who took it from straight text on a black screen, to the creative medium we have today. Alas, as the film studios continue to make it impossible for a decent book [...]
