I'm not sure if this video will show up because of copyright...but I hope it does.
I think its great.
United States of Tara (US TV Show) -
Its a great use of the media available as it appears to be like a pop up book and you can see the texture of the paper but obviously, in this resolution its actually just on a flat computer screen and it works extremely well.
Love it.x
BBC...
A selection of title sequences from the BBC channels...
The Mighty Boosh -
I believe this wouldn't be to be done on after effects, but I still wanted to put it up here for context as...I like it, and I could still take inspiration from colour and type use.
The Noughties - Was That it? -
I appreciate that this video is animated well etc. however, I'm not really a fan of it as I find it quite...boring? I think it may have something to do with saturation of the colours that I don't like?
The Greatest songs of the Noughties -
(From 0:15 - 0:22)
Obviously its only the type part thats really appropriate for this module, and even though its quite short I think its a good, effective use of pace to colour in the letters and a contemporary, useful typeface has been used.
Wee Wise Words -
I've never actually seen this programme, however, I found it on iPlayer and thought the title sequence was really visually engaging with the bold colours and simple animations.

Channel 4 / E4
A selection of title sequences from Channel 4 or E4 -
Big Bang Theory -
Desperate Housewives -
I don't watch the show, but I like the title sequence, I read somewhere that this was done using After Effects (or a similar software) and that does seem likely.
Ho Ho Ho Selecta -
Ponderland -
Sunday Night Project -
Graphics - Vitamin
The Inbetweeners -
Graphics - Addiction
The is so simple in terms of colour and type but I think it works really well.

Hello Charlie
I've known of Hello Charlie since 2008's Big Brother and respected them since.
The following video is the ending credits, designed by Hello Charlie, for the 'Jamie at Home - Christmas Special' (Shown on Channel 4) - Throughout the whole show they have quite a few little animations like this and I just think the hand-drawn look and interesting stocks that have been scanned in make this look really 'homely' and dare I say it 'Nice'.

JUMP and Jon Shore
E4 is one of the contexts that I think would be appropriate for my subject matter; for this reason, I spent some time looking at title sequences for popular shows on Channel 4 and E4.
The graphics for the followin piece were by JUMP; I've heard of them before but never really looked at them and now...I'm glad I know of them.
Big Fat Quiz of the Year -
I think this is great how it portrays humour just through the rotation and scale static images. In addition to being a good example of simple animation, I feel it is appropriate to my subject matter because the quiz does talk about celebrity events/stories throughout the show.
Balls of Steel -
(Can't show the video because of copyright...but here's screen shots)
Jon Shore did the graphics for the Balls of Steel title sequence, I think the limited colour pallette works really well on this piece and the transitions between each image are really simple but work well with the theme music and tone of the show.

UF6
All the following title sequences were designed by UF6 - A London based design company.
Primarily, I was just looking for the following title sequence as I saw it on BBCthree and thought it was really appropriate to the Top 10 that I decided on (Top 10 Celebrity stories of 2009)
Most Annoying People 2009 -
Most Annoying Couples -
Almost Famous -
They had a lot more examples of their work on their site but these were the ones I felt were most appropriate to the subject matter that I'm currently working with.

Film Title Sequences
As I have chosen to do the Top 10... brief, I have looked at a variety of title sequences from film to TV.
'Catch Me If You Can' title sequence. -
This was one of the first videos that stood out to me when I simply typed in 'title sequence' on youtube.
The designer for this sequence seems to be quite a popular one for peoples contextual references - Saul Bass - from this piece, I can definately see why.
The limited colour pallette works really well; the manipulation of the type is simple but very effective and the texture of the animated people makes it look less flat as if it does actually have a texture.
'Being John Malkovich' title sequence -
Graphics/Motion design - Man versus Magnet.
Once again, a title sequence that stoof out to me. I think the movement of the 'camera' is quite interesting; the 'jerky' movment obviously goes along with the music but also creates quite a weird/creepy tone, which is appropriate for the movie.
'Juno' title sequence -
When this film came out, I heard a lot about the title sequence. I actually saw the title sequence but the film (That sounds obvious, but i mean I saw it about 2 month before I sat down and watched the actual film). The pacing and colours really set an appropriate tone for the film. Designed by Shadowplay Studios, I love it.
'500 Days of Summer' title sequence -
(I uploaded this to youtube - but I had to delete for copyright reasons...oops!
If it consequently get deleted off the blogger video aswell, I'll have to take stills from it)

When I went and saw this at the cinema, as soon as the title sequence came on I thought 'I am gonna LOVE this' and I honestly think the title sequence and animations formed my whole opinion on the film because the other people that I went with didn't like the film at all lol. The animation is subtle, but the textures, colour and typeface make an effective piece (in my opinion).
