Fleet Foxes - Mykonos


The video for a Fleet Foxes song, making use of animation in a very interesting way. Similarly to work by Saul Bass and so on it uses paper cut outs, however this uses them in a much different way.

Sopranos Title Sequence - Kinetic Type

Catch Me if You Can Opening Title Sequence


The title sequence for the film 'catch me if you can', a relatively modern film opening yet with a very similar aesthetic to the much older openings by Saul Bass.

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World - title sequence by Saul Bass



More motion graphics by Saul Bass this time with colour...

Saul Bass title sequence - Anatomy of a murder (1959)


Some really amazing motion graphics by Saul Bass, and despite how long ago this was produced it's still a really interesting and effective piece of motion graphics.

Stewie Griffin - Kinetic Type

Queens of the Stone Age kinetic type

Feeling Good, Nina Simone



Kinetic type for Nina Simone's 'feeling good', although some parts of this I feel could be improved there are some really interesting techniques and examples of kinetic type in this video that I think are worth looking at.

Casino Royale Opening (Best Audio)



Probably one of my favourite examples of motion graphics for the introduction to a film. I think this may be down to the music aswell, but as a whole I think this is an amazing opening sequence for a film.
