007 is one of the most successful movie franchises in film history. Along with its success, the design of the title sequence is as attractive as its story of a secret agent. From the title sequence of Dr. No’ designed by Maurice Binder in 1962 to recent ‘Skyfall’ by Daniel Kleinman its design has been sexy, provocative, and high art and it has been a dream job for designers.
Having been a huge fan of 007 title sequence I’ve always thought about creating my version of it. After watching “Skyfall” in 2012, I decided to create an homage to the sequence and later in 2013 I started to build a team with the help of Soyoung Kim and Jin Seo, who were my friends and producers. We pulled all the strings to find talents, choreographer, stylist, DP, and VFX company, and after spending several months, we were able to assemble a great team. Especially, I was lucky to have Claudia Kim from ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron(2015)’ as the main talent and Soojin Choi, one of the best dancers in Korea, as the choreographer. With all the obstacles we’ve had along the process for the last two and a half years we’re happy to finish it finally and share it with you today.
Regarding the title sequence, we kept the original song by Adele and the general concept - The death experience of Jame’s Bond’s. However, while the original sequence was more focused on his outside of body experience, we did more on the temptation of death; He reaches to the bottom of the pit, and struggles within himself and is lured into death. In the end, he regains himself and stands strong from his inner battle. We also added a touch of fashion film to enhance the look of female talents.
Enjoy the film and any comments are welcome!
‘Making of’ video is coming soon.
