Similar Opening Title Sequences

Juno
Art of the Title - Juno


The title sequence for Juno is similar to what I want to produce in the sense that it is in the style of sketches, as if is has been drawn into a notepad and Juno has jumped in and brought it to life.




Sherlock Holmes
Art of the Title- Sherlock Holmes


In the same way as Juno, the Sherlock Holmes title sequence is similar to my ideas because of the 'sketching' element. Although in Sherlock Holmes, live action footage is used first, and then is turned into sketches which are then shaded with ink. Instead of using the sketching element on the film footage, I am planning to use stills from the film and use sketching, doodling and hand writing around the stills.


Although it isn't an opening title sequence, the closing credits of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban uses a similar technique again, a technique almost identical to what I am planning. The Harry Potter closing sequence features handwritten credits using ink to write the names of the cast and crew and surrounding images onto parchment, which is very fitting with the iconography in the film.
