Motion Designer Reacts to Bad & Great Title Sequences 01

I watched Caught Stealing and Play Dirty back to back — two crime films with very different approaches to their title sequences.

Both feature big-name directors and experienced title designers. Both use animation in surprising ways. But they land very differently.

In this video, I look at how each film handles its titles — from typography and pacing to visual style and storytelling — and what they say about the tone of the film that follows.

If you’re into motion design, typography, or title sequences that actually say something about the movie, this one’s for you.
