Johnny Kelly directed the brand-new short, but super cute stop motion animated title sequence for one of Holland's longest running youth TV shows "Het Klokhuis" (The Apple Core). The apple models used for the animation were built using the latest 3D printing technology.

The DC Comics superhero character Green Lantern originated from the 1940s, was re-invented during the Silver Age of Comics, and recently starred in an action-packed animated feature, Green Lantern: First Flight. The opening titles were done in a black and green motif "to match the Green Lantern's colors." They were designed by L.A.-based motion designer Castleforte, a self-proclaimed "huge" comics fan.

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.

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.

We sat down with main title designer Danny Yount at the Prologue studios in Venice Beach, L.A. Yount talked about his main title for Iron Man, his Emmy award-winning main title for  HBO's show Six Feet Under, and the difference between designing for television and film. His favorite main title is Se7en. (6'20").

In addition to the gallery presentation, MU will host a special evening on Friday, February 26th in Eindhoven. Three great main title designers from Paris, Amsterdam and London will talk about and present their best work. Also check out the nice trailer made especially for the show by young Dutch motion design studio OddOne and HeyHeyHey.

Liron Damir created a short 3d main title that emulates stop motion animation for a documentary feature about the history of the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.

“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.”

Finally there's a survey that will give the professional international motion design community (you!) more insight into salaries, rates, and other relevant issues. The results of the survey will be published on Motionographer in 2010. So, if you're working in the field of Motion Graphic Design, Animation, Visual Effects and Film-making, take the survey on Motionographer.

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.
