A BREIF HISTORY OF TITLE DESIGN

So. A link to another web site on a review page. As I stated early on this blog is about movies, more often than not new DVD reviews. But every now and then you see something interesting that concerns movies that makes you say wow. Or maybe it makes you appreciate some movies or perhaps, like this link, it reminds you of movies you've seen and then consider going back to watch again just because you've been reminded of them.

"A Brief History of Title Design" was has a staff composed of Ian Albinson Editor-in-chief | Founder,
Alexander Ulloa Head Writer and Angel Tagudin Contributing Author. At least that's what their web site says and who would doubt them? The web site celebrates the title sequences of films we all know and love. The link above presents a compilation that they put together for the SXSW film festival. But the site also offers the opening of closing title sequences from a number of films that you can enjoy in quicktime.

So take a look at that compilation and find a few movies that you forgot about but enjoyed. It might even make you go looking for a few of them. And then check out the various offerings they have there to watch.

Title sequences may be something that we take for granted most of the time. But when done well they're items we never forget. Don't believe me? Then tell me you don't remember a glowing pink jewel that turned into a pink panther. Of you don't recall seeing a round hole with a tuxedo dressed man walking into it then turning to fire his gun followed by that familiar James Bond Theme. See? You're thinking about title sequences already.
