Link of the Day: Saul Bass in 100 Seconds
Seems like this is the week of the title sequence. Saul Bass is perhaps the only title sequence designer that most cinephiles know by name. Having designed opening sequences for films like Vertigo, Anatomy of a Murder, Psycho and Goodfellas, he has a high pedigree and a distinct style. In celebration of a book on Saul Bass’ work being named among the 11 best Design and Art Books of 2011, Ian Albinson has put together a short film honouring his design work.
