Above is the link to the Kung Fu Panda title sequence. This sequence by Riley has a very unique style. The animation almost looks like a 3D diagrams where the layers are made out of paper. The style is also very anime, and the panda looks more abstract than the actual movie's animation. This sequence is very "cartoon" esque and relies heavily on the animation aspect.

This link of the "Gattaca" title sequence is very different than Kung-Fu Panda. It is very calm, playing with different shades of blue. It only tends to focus on one thing at a time, drawing the viewers attention to specific and simple motions.
Michael Riley's style is variable and flexible, very unique and artistic.
