S2E8: Teddy Blanks
Teddy Blanks is a co-founder of CHIPS, a Brooklyn-based design studio, who specializes in film titles.
What is the title sequence before a movie or a TV show for?
They ease you into the idea that you’re about to watch a movie, to remove you from the world outside and bring you into the world of the film itself. [They can] pump you up into a certain mood that then sustains for the rest of the film. They can give you clues about what the movie might be or when it might take place, if the typography or the imagery you see in the title sequence is of a certain period, it can give you the idea that maybe the movie takes place in that period.
