Film Openings

I have been looking at several film openings and end credits. The ones that caught my attention were Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho made by Saul Bass. I think the typography works really well for this and I find it quite haunting, it is also very influential for the time it was created. I have also looked at Casino Royale directed by Martin Campbell, the opening credits designed by Daniel Kleinman. Kleinman was inspired by the cover of the 1953 British first edition of Casino Royale. In creating the images he digitalised the footage of Daniel Craig and the film's stuntmen on the Inferno Visual Effects System, depicting intricate and innovative card patterns.
However, the one I liked most was the opening sequence to Catch Me if You Can. I really like the simplicity and the minimal use of colours.
