Saul Bass is an American Graphic designer and filmmaker, but he is best known for his design on animated motion picture title sequence.
- quote from Bass:
“ I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares. “ — Saul Bass
Steven Spielberg’s 2002 Catch Me If You Can , created by Florence Deygas & Olivier Kuntzel. Saul Bass’ work influenced generations of graphic designers to follow and transform the ordinary movie title sequence into an art form in itself. Various film title sequences and movie posters.
The styling was a deliberate homage to Saul Bass, but with the focus of creating something unique and contemporary.Seemingly on the run throughout the various scenes, the silhouetted figure encounters (and escapes) a number of different situations before finally being caught at the end of the sequence, where he’s forcibly thrown into the rest of the film.
This title sequence is very interesting. The soundtrack in the background of the movie fits in perfectly with what is happening in the opening stop motion. This soundtrack is smooth at first then jumps to a different style then jumps back.
