THE INCREDIBLE WORK OF SAUL BASS
As we move from editing into motion graphics and animation, it makes sense to draw inspiration from the work of Saul Bass – the master of the opening title sequence. Bass was brilliant at distilling the emotions of a film into simple, iconic imagery. His use of typography, animation, geometric shapes, and primary colors is immediately recognizable.
This video essay from Andrew Saladino is a lovely tribute to Bass’s work. For more of Saladino’s excellent essays, check out the Royal Ocean Film Society on Vimeo.
