Suspect created the stop-motion animated opening and end credit sequence for a short film titled The Wilde Ones - a film that pays tribute to Richard Wilde's inspiring leadership as chair of the BFA Advertising and Graphic Design Department of the SVA in New York. “Our team created a landscape that felt as if someone had crafted it from scratch. Each piece of material was something that was found around the office," explains creative director Hoon Chong.

The Blue Horse

It's not all Hollywood here at Forget the Film, Watch the Titles. From time to time we like to feature a main title that was created on a very small budget. The Blue Horse is an independently produced Dutch thriller. Its main title is slightly reminiscent of Stephen Frankfurt’s opening title sequence for “To Kill A Mockingbird”, but only in the sense that it's a table top shoot and the title is revealed by a child drawing with a crayon.

"The first title sequence that made a really big impression on me was the The Dead Zone for David Cronenberg’s movie," says title designer Kyle Cooper.

“A writhing mass of bodies trying to escape from the never-ending ether,” says Rob Rugan, creative director of Superfad, about the concept behind the main title for '13'. This is the first main title created for a web series that really made an impression on us. “A good bit of the style came from looking at classical sculptures.”

The Invasion

designer: Danny Yount • comment
The end credit sequence by Danny Yount, creative director at Prologue, visually relates planetary bodies in outer space to the macro world of cells, blobs of blood plasma and floating particles inside the human vascular system – a world that we've only recently become aware of by way of the electron microscope, but remains quite alien to us nonetheless.
