Looking around after finding this nice take on the Star Wars titles, I found this:
Slick bit of typography set to Lock stock.

The last bite is with the eye...

It seems like film credit sequences are getting more and more sophisticated. Is it a bid to keep audiences in their seats to acknowledge the films' talented artisans and technicians, or is it just an indulgent project for some lucky designers and art directors? I went to see Wall E the other day which has a charming end credits sequence - not quite as fun as the Kung Fu Panda credits sequence I blogged about t'other day but very engaging nonetheless. (However, Wall E wins points for the inclusion of a new Peter Gabriel song over its end credits.)

I've found some excellent websites that know a lot more about this subject than I do - and websites that are also are able to round up the best of film titles+credit design more comprehensively than I.

If you love title design, check it out... Forget The Film, Watch The Titles and The Art of The Title.

And as a obvious nod to the so called father of film title design - here's a lovely Saul Bass website. He didn't have After Effects, did he?
