Applied Animation: A Series of Unfortunate Events - End Credits

Okay so I know this isn't technically an opening title sequence but it is a credit sequence, so I'm going to class it as it counts. Compared to the title sequence, I feel that the credit sequence is incredibly well crafted and is beautifully made. I love the overall aesthetic of it and I feel that this would have worked a lot better at the start of the film than what they actually used, as I feel that it captures the mood and tone of the story really well and helps to set the scene a lot better than a happy little elf, which plays no relevance to the film whatsoever.


Jamie Caliri uses stop motion animation to create a beautiful visual representation of the story. I feel that this captures the mood and tone of the book really well and I even feel that the soundtrack helps to do so too. Although I won't be using stop motion within my own title sequence, I really like the effect that this has on the sequence and I feel that style is sympathetic to the book.

I really like the way the text comes onto the screen, it doesn't stay stationary for very long making it appear more interesting than just ordinary text. I also really love the textures and the colours used within this sequence, as I feel that they also really help to convey the atmosphere of the story. Overall, this animation has made me think about the importance of colour combinations and the way I present things such as text and also the way I use my camera angles to take the audience through a story.
