X-MEN: First Class

Design and direction for the "X-Men: First Class" animated title sequence. Referencing early 1960's title sequences as inspiration, simple shapes are used to graphically represent scientific data including DNA sequencing, mitosis, meiosis, and gene technology. As animation technology has advanced significantly in the past 50 years, the graphic language had to be controlled and close attention and restraint had to be applied to the typography and animation style used.
