Opening credits request :)


Hi guys!

I hope I posted it in the correct area.

I am looking for a movie which had the opening credits in the form of 3D words floating through, what looked like Manhattan, that means CG combined with photography and real scenery, the words were big as the buildings and were floating above the streets in the middle of the buildings.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help

Mike

I can't think of the film right now, but I'm pretty sure it's either a David Fincher or M. Night Shymalan picture.

And I believe the overall idea was actually based on the credit sequence in North by Northwest.

Sounds like Panic Room.

That's the one that I was trying to remember.

Compare it to North by Northwest: http://www.notcoming.com/saulbass/caps_nxnw.php

Def. Panic Room. We talked about how cool those credits were back in 2002. And they certainly are inspired by NxNW.

Re: Opening credits request :)


I love credits that are blended into the backgrounds or scenery...

Re: Opening credits request :)


The TV show Heroes employs a similar technique for its episode titles.

Night at the Museum's credits are similar to Panic Room's.
