This subject came up in another Topic discussion...so what kind of title sequence would everyone like to see for SF and who would we like to see do it? If someone can explain to me how to do a poll, I will put one up.

[marktmurphy]

I'll put a fiver on someone suggesting the bloke that did Dragon Tattoo's titles within five posts.

[Jim]

That bloke that did Dragon Tattoo's titles.

[occhile007]

is that a bad thing or a good thing that someone would mention it?

[lechero]

Maybe this thead would be better suited to the normal Skyfall forum? No spoilers here.

On topic. I have no idea who should do them, I certainly would welcome the return of Daniel Kleinman, even though I didn't see what was so wrong with MK12's titles.
But please no titles like the ones in MI:4 where half the following film is spoiled.

[Harmsway]

I liked the titles for M:I-4, and didn't feel they spoiled the film. (Giacchino's score, on the other hand...)

Agreed. It was a great sequence, which I understand is a throwback to the original series.

[occhile007]

Throwback....nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact, if they are doing a "like Goldfinger" throwback to the 60's feel, let's do the same with the credits and the title song.

Sure. I´d be up for that, no pun intended, why not use projections on naked women? Always loved that

Yeah, that was Robert Brownjohn's trademark.

[occhile007]

In that case, could they use Olga Kurlenko's body or Eva Green??? : )

[Leon]

I don't know enough about these title designers, but I do know that the titles for QoS were really lame (not helped by a song that couldn't decide what it was between the two artists). CR was interesting at least, though they shouldn't repeat any of that, something less cartoonish, more simplistic and classier is needed.

Also, why does it all have to be digitally lathered now? If they really want to tip their caps back to the classic 60s era why not work a little harder to make most of it analogue? It's not like analogiue technology hasn't also advanced, along with the help of being able to touch things up digitally. I just find it really lazy the way they absolutely cake the entire sequence in CGI - with the last film, for example, it just ended up looking cheap and messy with no simplistic, solid thread or idea.

[marktmurphy]

I don't see why CGI is any 'lazier' than optical effects. CGI ain't exactly easy to do, you know.

[The Shark]

It's think he means relatively speaking, compared to opticals. There's also a magic that old school fx have that CGI can never quite capture. It's always a bit too clean, if you know what I mean.

[Stainless Steel Teeth INC]

As it has already been mentioned here is the fantastic title sequence to TGWTDT by Tim Miller;

However, I would very much love to see the return of Daniel Kleinman who had with CR done his best work to date.

In acknowledgement of the 50th anniversary (along with a gun barrel bathed in a golden hue) I'd like to see a title sequence that subtly includes a few visual throwbacks. Nothing too obvious, just elements that we'd recognise and no doubt come back on here to merrily discuss.

[Captain Tightpants]

Fantastic? Fantastically dark, maybe.

[Royal Dalton]

Is Trevor Bond still around? They should get him to do it if he is.

[TQB]

I'd like to see something retro like FRWL's titles.

[Triton]

I believe that Daniel Kleinmann did a fantastic job with titles for Casino Royale and for the Pierce Brosnan Bond films. I really disliked the titles by MK12 for Quantum of Solace. They just didn't seem like a title sequence for a Bond film. Kleinmann can really channel the spirit of Maurice Binder.

It's think he means relatively speaking, compared to opticals. There's also a magic that old school fx have that CGI can never quite capture. It's always a bit too clean, if you know what I mean.

Thematically, it looks like a copy of Daniel Kleinman's work from The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day.

[univex]

Just use naked ladies and a projector. Heck, I´ll do it!

[The Shark]

I'd like to see someone channel the spirit of Robert Brownjohn. I always preferred his work (FRWL and GF) to Binder's.

I second that.

[Mr. Blofeld]

I kind of wish he'd stayed on past GF, but I do love the remainder of Binder's '60s work, as well as LALD and TSWLM; on his bad days, he was bad, but when he was on form, he was incredible.

[occhile007]

how about they just bring back Eva Green and Olga Kurlenko and strip them down to nothing...stay with me....and have them be like the classic Bond girl bodies like they did in FRWL and GF. I couldn't think of a finer tribute....: )

I´d be up fot that. Literally

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

Mr Kleinman again, keep those bots of MK12 far far away Mr Mendes, please

Oh, weel, i'd like to see skies, girls and the silohuette of Bond... but I said SILOHUETTES, not bad vectorized CGIs

[univex]

I´d like to see real women defying our visual perceptions, slowly swiveling borderline naked, with the text projected in their bodies. Ups, already done right? But never beaten.

Have to agree there. Let's home some real Bond women, not strange CGI shapes that resemble women. 'Quantum Of Solace' touched upon it, and nearly had it, but lost it.

I don't want anything TOO technologoical, not for the titles. Keep them simple, sexy and effective to set the tone!

[Mr_Wint]

Just keep it simple.
Real women >> CGI women
Binder >> Kleinman/MK12

[Captain Tightpants]

Binder >> Kleinman/MK12

Well, considering that Binder has been dead for twenty years, he's not really an option ...
