    I saw Karl Cooper present in London for D&AD last night. Nice guy with a completely dominating portfolio of work. Liked most of what he showed and was impressed by his drive and honesty.

    Film titles are an interesting one...can be very powerful but as they are expected they can also be formulaic. I'm noticing a trend to outro's rather than intros.

    As film effects become more prominent I would like to see less devision between the team behind the 'graphics' and the team behind the 'film'...Karl mentioned Iron Man as a good example.

    Any got any thoughts? or favourite film titles I should check out?

    I think this division is due to the fact that film production is often split in two - the creatives behind the title sequences very often only come on board after shooting has finished, and are free to interpret what they see.

    I'd say that many examples of titles that actually enhance the film are due to a particularly visual Director, who will keep a close eye on keeping a visual theme running through the entire production. David Fincher, Tim Burton, Wes Anderson etc.

    Or something like that.
