Video: Saul Bass title sequences
The great graphic designer Saul Bass (1920-1996) though having created many well-known logotypes and posters, is mostly know and remembered for his work with movie title sequences (IMDb). This is a collection of the few I found on YouTube. My thanks to those who uploaded them. If you find more or upload more please let me know.
"My initial thoughts about what a title can do was to set mood and the prime underlying core of the film's story, to express the story in some metaphorical way. I saw the title as a way of conditioning the audience, so that when the film actually began, viewers would already have an emotional resonance with it."[1]Check this site out for great screenshots from other of Saul Bass' title sequences and this one for screenshots of other great titles.
