The Title Design of Saul Bass from Ian Albinson on Vimeo.
Title sequences, in a way, sum up the film for us before it even begins. Good ones, capture the essence of the movie, often conceptually reflecting on the tone or mood for what we’re about to watch. Saul Bass, an American graphic designer, is recognized as one of the great title sequence designers. He created over 50 sequences during his career, including Vertigo, one of my favorite films!
H/T to Maria of Brain Pickings for the top video. (Also: Do you follow Brain Pickings on Twitter? If not, you really should.)
