TItle Sequence: Catch Me If You Can
A few weeks ago, I watched the Steven Spielberg film Catch Me If You Can. I really enjoyed the film, but the thing that grabbed me right at the start was the title sequence. It is a very minimalistic animation that draws the viewer in and tells a story of its own. Just through silhouettes, it is able to capture the essence of the characters and tell their story. Even more impressive is the fact that the characters were not animated digitally. Rather, the creators made stamps of the characters and animated with those. There's a lot more detail on the process and other aspects of creating the titles in an interview on the Art of the Title page. Unfortunately I can't get the video to embed, but it is also available on the same page.
