I have no idea how I missed this because I visit The Art of the Title Sequence quite often, and I was casually covering SXSW at the time. I was even aware that TAotTS was doing something at the festival. But since I just found their succinct and toe-tapping montage/history lesson on the evolution of title design (that’d be opening credits to the rest of us folks) to be a marvel worthy of sharing, I will (even if I am a month late to the party.) They hit a lot of the great ones, and a lot of the turning points in history, and then throw in something like Carnivale or Zombieland. It appropriately ends on the most eye-melting sequence of all time, courtesy of Gaspar Noe. Enjoy.













Wow, that was gorgeous. I think most of my favourites popped up in there, nothing immediately springs to mind that they missed. I appreciated seeing Delicatessen and Catch Me If You Can in there, I love those two title sequences.
The Art of the Title website has all of the films used in order, but I was surprised that I recognized (well, you do see the actual film titles often!) so many of them. Of course, I loves me a title sequence and lament that most filmmakers shove them to the end of their films these days.
