    That summarizes the ART OF TITLE! Well done.
  • Spot of Bother LLC 11 months ago
    Very nice. I think Panic Room should have been included, due to its innovative use of 3D text which FRINGE has copied ever since.

    Do you know "Don't miss the titles"? Curiously made by me (Ferran Albi, are you son of mine??? haha)
    The spanish original version it can be seen in

    Nice, it's funny that Enter the Void is at the end, since that looks like a collage of different title screens on it's own. Really good collection though, Fav'd
  •  
  • metroccolis 11 months ago
    Finishing with Enter The Void is the best thing you could do. Great selection!

  • Tiago Coutinho 11 months ago
    Amazing compilation.
  •  
  • Keaton Tips 11 months ago
    This is definitely a solid list. IT hit a lot of the titles I thought deserved to be in the IFC's list of 50 greatest.

    Although, one title sequence that I think is phenomenal, which hasn't been mentioned on that list, in this video or on websites like watchthetitles.com is the titles for the original, animated "101 Dalmatians." That sequence I believe deserved to be near the top of many lists.
    It is a spectacular piece of art work in and of itself.

    No love for animated features I guess.
  • Ian Albinson plus 11 months ago
    The love is there, it's been on our list for a long time and it is a wonderful sequence. Getting the video legitimately on the site would be the issue. Disney is very protective of its work.
  • Keaton Tips 11 months ago
    This is music to my. . . eyes?

    I completely understand about the legality of content usage. Disney IS very protective.

    Thanks for setting me straight, Ian.
    I appreciate it.

    i like it but. it got mostly nothing to do with history a lot more more with publicity.

  • Dhenuka Ganesh 11 months ago
    Very cool! My only addition would have been "Thank you for smoking" given the context. But you have other Jason Reitman ones there :) Again, very well done!
  •  
  • Joe Jubinville plus 11 months ago
    Great stuff. It's interesting that just a snippet of some of these evokes the whole title/movie... that's impact.

    One of the most entertaining title sequences of all time:
    It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

  • Tim Kolb 11 months ago
    If anything, I could have easily enjoyed it at twice as long to give some of the animated sequences a bit more time...nicely done.
  •  
  • Marc Lawrence 11 months ago
    essential viewing for anybody remotely interested in the evolution of motion graphics! brilliant...

  •  
  • Darren McNaney 11 months ago
    I really liked this but I think your choice of title is misleading. I'm guessing the clips are chronological but it's not a 'history' and its focused primarily on American feature films. I did enjoy it though! : )
  •  
  • Ivan Vidovic 11 months ago
    Awesome selection, but this music is way overused in the motion design industry.

    Love the "Enter the Void" got to finish this off. As I was watching, I was wondering how you were going to close it out, and ETV's title sequence was so hardcore and epic that it totally deserved to get the last word here. Great piece!

  •  
  • Peter Merholz 11 months ago
    Nice, I suppose, but ultimately myopic. Too many from after 1980, particularly pieces of crap like "SHERLOCK HOLMES." Not truly a history... more like an obvious collection of fanboy favorites.
  •  
  • Chris Allen 11 months ago
    Nice to see the evolution. some of the titles from the 60's area has such a well crafted feel!
