007 is one of the most successful movie franchises in film history. In addition to 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 the recent "Skyfall" by Daniel Kleinman, its design has been sexy, provocative, and high art-a dream job for designers.

 

As a huge fan of the 007 title sequences, I’ve always thought about creating my version of one. After watching “Skyfall” in 2012, I decided to create an homage to the sequence and in 2013 I began building a team with the help of my producers and friends Soyoung Kim and Jin Seo. We pulled all the strings to find talent, a choreographer, a stylist, a DP, and a VFX company. After several months, we were able to assemble a great team. I was especially 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. After all the obstacles we’ve encountered in the process over the last two and a half years, we’re happy to finally finish it and share it with you today.

 

Regarding the title sequence, we kept the original song by Adele and the general concept of the death experience of James Bond. However, while the original sequence was more focused on his out-of-body experience, we focused more on the temptation of death: he reaches the bottom of the pit, struggles internally, 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 the female talent.

Enjoy the film and all comments are welcome!
