The Art of the Title Sequence

Love — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:15:09 +0000

A very cool website called “The Art of the Title Sequence” searches high and low for incredible title sequences of film, television and live and animated shorts from all over the world. Their site not only shows you how they are made, the site is chock full of photos, samples, user discussions and interviews from the people behind the sequences. [via]

We took a few of our favorites from their site and put them here for you to check out. The title sequence from Catch Me If You Can is probably one of our all-time favorites. Watch it here:

Cantilevered living and sleeping spaces stacked vertically above.

A commanding home, black weather boards over framed construction, polished concrete floors inlayed with waxed timber tiles, glass mosaic wet areas and stainless steel kitchen.
