Don't forget to Fly

Let talk about motion graphics shall we. 

I was spiraling through the infinite videos of YouTube the other day and decided to look 
up one of my favorite motion pieces. Its a piece that everyone has seen, well mostly everyone. 

Can you guess? Here's a clue. 

 Its in a movie. 

 Its in the first of very popular "2 part" movie finale. 

Anything?

Gross! How dare you guess Twilight! It's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1". The Tale of the Three Brothers to be precise. You don't have to be a Graphic Design nerd to appreciate the beauty and elegance of this motion graphic, but it helps.

 Directed and designed by Ben Hibon with association with Framestore

 Is it not just fantastic?

Well, naturally YouTube had me in a firm neck hold, which led me to think of the opening credits of "Catch Me if You Can" What is so great about it is the seemingly simplicity of it, with that intently recognizable Saul Bass aesthetic.

 Designed by Olivier Kuntzel and Florence Deygas

The silhouettes are expertly designed and are easily recognizable. When paired with the simple color scheme makes a visual wonderland, with flawless scene transitions. Don't get me started on how well the music marries all three together.

Feeling the need for more illustrated glory I quickly looked up the opening credits for the  
"Series of Unfortunate Events". Do a really need to say anything else?

Which led me to these two hidden gems. The first being "The Screwtape Letters" and the second being "The House that never was."

These last two where made by independent designers either for fun or for school. 

Great work you two.
