The emergence of Saul Bass in the design of title sequences in 1954 (Carmen Jones, Otto Preminger), and his dedication to this field until 1995 (Casino, Martin Scorsese), represented a period of experimentation and continuous change in motion graphics. During this period Bass designed the title sequences for fifty-three films, which allowed him to explore the various expressive possibilities the film medium offered him: live action images and animation, abstract and figurative images, static and moving text. However, his proposals always followed his “simple idea” concept. This paper first offers a journey from the origins of film industry, identifying the use of animation title sequences, and then focuses on the contributions made by Saul Bass in the use of animation.
