Art of Title Sequence

Title Sequence: Casino Royale
Designer: Daniel Kleinman

The style of the Casino Royale title sequence was influenced by the graphic designer/filmaker Saul Bass, who was well known for producing animated title sequences which told stories through simple images. The Casino Royale title sequence was done using a lot of computer effects and animation to re-create scenes from the actual film. The fonts used in the title sequence are sans serif but they look very formal and strong, which suits the genre of the film very well. The title sequence has a lot of action and movement, which is emphasized on by using contrasting colours to bring out detail, and solid block colours to make the human figures look stronger and bolder.

I found the Casino Royale title sequence appealing because it was different from other title sequences, and it sets the theme of the film very well by using simple animation.
