Title Sequence - Review

Hello all. Here's a title sequence I've found that I really like.



This is for a film I've never heard of called Thank You For Smoking. All the credits are presented as though it's on a packet of cigarettes. Lots of research must have been done into the look of loads of different old fashioned fag packets. In fact several of them look as though they may have used actual photographs of old packs as there's creases and scuff marks in some of them, which adds an authentic, worn, beat up look. Some look like they've been made up. There are lots of different styles; each new credit coming on screen with a new style. They're all old fashioned style ones too, no Silk Cut or B & H. The transitions between each new credit (and cig packet) are nice and smooth too, with the individual components of each packet breaking up and separating and the new one moving on to the screen. The music goes perfectly with it as it's all about smoking and the tempo goes well with the on screen transitions. Nice.
