Last night I watched the film The Boat That Rocked. As well as being a brilliant insight into the rock and roll culture of the late 1960’s in the Uk, I was inspired by the slick title sequence. It is beautifully animated, with the timeless sound of The Kinks summing up the feel of the film.

The title sequence fulfills it’s normal task of introducing the key characters, but the strong, well executed graphical style works as a clever vehicle, in the style of a tuning dial on a valve radio. It has inspired me to create a mock up title sequence over the next couple of weeks which I will get a couple of the guys here involved with perhaps so I can try and delve into the work flow of a title sequence.
