Title designing is one of my dream jobs too. Stay tuned for more shots from my favorite title sequences.
The next one will come from the amazing titles of a short-lived series that should have been a breakout show for Jeffrey Donovan and Vera Farmiga. I miss this show, but had it not been cancelled, we wouldn't have gotten the equally awesome Donovan show Burn Notice.
Steven Hill's Movie Title Screens Page is a nice site. I first came across it in 2005. According to my PC, the first image that I saved from Hill's site was the title screen from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I know it's a weird title sequence to be fond of because it's not an attention-grabber like the work of Saul Bass or Imaginary Forces, but I always dug the Open Capitals and Eurostile fonts that were used in the titles of all the Jones flicks except Temple of Doom. (Yeah, I'm a fontophile too.)
This is my favorite post yet.
ReplyDeleteWatching the titles is my favorite part about watching movies.
I think the ultimate dream job would be to just do movie titles for a living...
I've been meaning to post lots more screen caps (of all the titles that I've taken), but they don't come out so great on my SK3 phone cam.

I just found it when I was looking for a photo from the movie we just watched, And Soon The Darkness.
