Main title sequences for films have always held a very special place in my heart. From "The Good the Bad and The Ugly" (pictured below) to "City Slickers" and "XXX: State of the Union," title sequences have played an important role in setting a stylistic tone for a movie, or they're just there to totally blow your mind. Sometimes they're even better than the film.
That's why the SubmarineChannel, a non-profit production and online distribution platform, for motion graphic designers and interactive artists alike, created the "Forget the Film, Watch the Titles" database. Started in 1997 the online collection captures some of the most stunning and original film title sequences. Divided into four categories, Animation, Motion Graphics, Mixed Media, and 3D, the collection covers decades of film title magic.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, CH friend and colleague Seth Brau recently completed the rather daunting task of bringing the words to life with motion graphics. The result is on one hand elegant — using a two-tone palette, linear — and on the other an experimental take on scale, the use of typography and symbolism. Given complete...
by Kyle Small Almost since film's invention at the turn of the century, stop motion has been a key component of bringing the magic of the imagination into the world of motion pictures. The semi-recent advances in CGI technology (as well as other dazzling special effects techniques) has ultimately proven deadly to stop motion animation, but there are still those who favor the lo-tech...
