Una película sobre Pablo Ferro

Finally, a proper documentary about one of the last living legends of title design, Mr. Pablo Ferro. Ferro was part of the generation of title designers who emerged in the 1950s and 1960s (including Maurice Binder, Robert Brownjohn, Saul Bass, and others) who incorporated the visual language of graphic design and popular culture into film. With their individual and innovative approaches, these designers set the standard for contemporary title design.

A first teaser of Pablo – The Movie appeared on the web more than five years ago, promising an original blend of live action, motion graphics and animation. Pablo finally premiered earlier this year at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. We took the opportunity to talk to director Richard Goldgewicht about his film (now touring festivals worldwide) and about his subject, Pablo Ferro.

The Art of Film & TV Title Design

The credits are often the first thing we see when we watch a great film or TV show, but the complexity and artistry of title design is rarely discussed. Creators of title sequences are tasked to invent concepts that evoke the core story and themes of the production, and to create a powerful visual experience that pulls the viewer into the film's world. In this episode we hear the stories of some of the most inventive people working in the field, including the creators of the iconic Mad Men sequence, the hilarious Zombieland opening and "rules" sequences, and the stirring end credits from Blue Valentine.

A History Of The Title Sequence

A History Of The Title Sequence from Jurjen Versteeg on Vimeo.

Designed as a possible title sequence for a fictitious documentary, this film shows a history of the title sequence in a nutshell. The sequence includes all the names of title designers who had a revolutionary impact on the history and evolution of the title sequence. The names of the title designers all refer to specific characteristics of the revolutionary titles that they designed.

This film refers to elements such as the cut and shifted characters of Saul Bass' Psycho title, the colored circles of Maurice Binder's design for Dr. No and the contemporary designs of Kyle Cooper and Danny Yount.

Els crèdits són el primer el que veiem al mirar una pel·lícula o un programa de televisió, però rarament es discuteix la complexitat del seu disseny i l'art que comporta. En aquest vídeo s'aprofundeix sobre diferents conceptes relacionats amb el grafisme i la seua intenció com a experiència visual per a l'espectador.

- Giving Credit: The Look of Saul Bass

Xerrada de menys de 10 minuts de Kyle Cooper sobre Saul Bass. Cal recordar que Kyle Cooper és el creador, entre moltes altres, de la inoblidable seqüència del títols de la pel·lícula Seven (1995). Inspirador per als dissenyadors dels nostres dies, la seua influència ha fet que fins i tot se'l compare amb el pare del grafisme audiovisual, Saul Bass.
