The good people at SumarineChannel are hosting the Sweeney Todd titles. They’ve also put up an interview (on the left-hand side of the page) with title designer Richarad Morrison and design director Shay Hamias (of th1ng).
On working with Tim Burton, Morrison said, “It wasn’t anything straightforwardly agreed. That’s the beauty of working with Tim. We met for a few drinks, discussed the movie, watched some parts of it… and then he just let me come up with anything really.”
Wow. Dream client.
I remember being struck by the titles when I first watched the film a couple weeks ago. The electric red hue of the blood seemed comically cheesy at first, but as I settled into the film’s aesthetic, it made sense. The titles perfectly set the tone for the twisted tale that followed.
UPDATE:There’s an interview with Richard Morrison about this project here.
