Hasta La Motion!

What can you say about this title sequence that will do it justice? There is so much beauty in its stop-motion bizarreness. Having said that, I wouldn’t expect anything less from acclaimed Japanese director of horror and strangeness, Takashi Miike. All I can suggest is that you let go of regular conventions, take a look and get ready for a roller-coaster ride!

On a side note, if you have a spare weekend, rent out some of Miike’s movies, in particular Audition, and my personal favourite, Ichi the Killer (in which the titles involve various male-only fluids!).

Here at Motionographer Towers, we’ve decided to kick off a mini-series of what we consider to be truly beautiful title sequences. Rather than limiting ourselves to something that is strictly motion graphics or design related, we are focusing on the overall imagery. Naturally, this is all completely subjective, and one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure.

Anyway, without further ado, I present for your collective consideration, the title sequence to The Fall. I often think that slow motion is becoming a bit over-used, but that’s far from the case here. When in the right hands, it can turn chaos into tranquility.

Under the watchful eye of Tarsem Singh, Stefan G. Bucher also added subtle art deco typography that truly compliments the stunning cinematography.
