Archives For title sequence

Continuing with posts on main titles, this is Desperate Housewives by yu+co

Check the yu+co link for a better resolution one.

What’s so cool about this title sequence is that it’s simple. Women from famous paintings as housewives. At the time, it was giddy for anyone taking an art history class. Plus, it captured the essence of the show.

Frankly, I’ve stopped watching the show… and I think they’ve stopped playing the intro last last season. But it still brings back memories of better Desperate times. The last season I bought on DVD was when they did the 5 year jump. I’m going to pretend the show ended there.

Ahh… I hope I can finish this post in less than 30min. LOL Or sure I’ll be whining with the people at Anomalous Material for posting so many Memes xD

But we’re lazy, so we’re doing a 31-day Meme into one post. Just like we did on the TV Meme… only with more pictures! Because I think that TV Meme needs photos, right?

1. A Sequel that Shouldn’t Have Been Made

You know there should be something wrong when all the sequels went straight to DVD. That’s a sad sad ending for a good cheesy film like Bring it On. The sequels bring so much shame when mentioning Bring it On, which by the way had Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku… and Gabrielle Union. And cheers. I said Brrrr it’s cold in here! There must be some Clovers in the atmosphere~~~ LOL a perfect introduction to setup what the cheese will be about, and a more poppy-end-of-the 90s-rendition of Hey, Mickey!

I was missing Dexter!
So instead of watching the show, which would require me 13hrs of my week for just one season, I decided to look up for the Main Titles done by the awesome team at Digital Kitchen~

There is something very attractive about Michael C. Hall. Or maybe Dexter? LOL Anyway, he’s a sexy beast xD full of quiveration, I’m telling you~

Forget the Film, Watch the Titles just posted the opening titles for Splice, that film by Vicenzo Natali with Adrien Brody and Sarah Poley… which I am dying to see.

While watching the titles [you can WATCH IT HERE], was anyone else reminded of Ang Lee’s Hulk? You know the whole genetic experimentation business… and it’s green. LOL I am one of the few people that actually liked that movie, aren’t I?

I have a slight suspicion that this will get a Best Visual Effects nomination this year, definitely a candidate. It looks fresher than Iron Man 2, you know since it’s not a sequel. Like I said, dying to see.

I dunno what this is… title sequence, music video… or just a way to show off rollerbladers xD, but it’s kinda nifty that works any way it wants to work. I love watching the X-Games on ESPN. I used to rollerblade when I was a teen, but now I’m just a chicken shit. xD But still love to see people flying~~~ xD

It’s titles! I wonder if porn movies still make funky title designs…
since they are also battling torrents and streaming sites,
also… the music xD
hmmm… maybe not so safe for work.

idsgn has a post on how Film Titles have evolved since its early days.

Of course if you read many of the posts here, you know about Forget the Film, Watch the Titles, as well as The Art of the Title Sequence. I don’t really need to explain them, right? Their names are pretty specific~~~

But how about The Movie Title Stills Collection?

And just so this post gets more hits haha,
let’s add some Yu Aoi pimping! She’s been tweeted!
And people are buzzing “Yu Aoi dressed up dude-like in the new issue of so-en”
– which I sorta blogged here.

Here are more photos of the photos of it!

Motionographer made a post on the nominees for
Best Main Titles
(yes, motion designers can win Emmys too)

Of course, my favorite one (and crossing my fingers for its win) is
The United States of Tara… because!
I love pop-up books… the level of detail in it,
the style… and I also loved the theme.
it gives you the proper idea of what the show is,
it evokes the show and the style.

Forget the Film (or show), Watch the Titles also had

Let’s start with what the film is about:
