Founded in 2003 by Producer David Z. Obidiah and Creative Director Paul Donnellon, VooDooDog is an award winning studio skilled in animation, live action, and web development. VooDooDog works with many well known studios such as Columbia, Fox, New Line Cinema, Universal, HBO, MTV, BBC, and also works with indie filmmakers.
VooDooDog has been given an EMMY nomination for the title sequence design for the HBO film "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers",and three gold medals at the New York Festivals and nominated forfor the British Animation Awards.
VooDooDog has also contributed works for Sony's PSP game "Motorstorm Apocalypse". After seeing the title sequence for "Smokin' Aces" Sony wanted VooDooDog to make a similar approach to their game including a movie style opening title sequence and in game animated sequences to introduce characters.
In the up coming movie "Paul", VooDooDog shot a live action end sequence set around the desk of the character in the movie.
In relation to our context, VooDooDog has produced numerous works of title sequences over the years. While reviewing their work, I realized that typography and the opening title sequence plays a huge role. Typography, how it is displayed and used can convey the idea of the film, place the setting, tone of the work.
The A-Team

This is the second time VooDooDog had worked with Joe Carnahan, the first time was on "Smokin' Aces". They created whole opening title sequence with graphics and character cards. There was an extended opening showing all of their missions but didn't make it into the final film.
Made of Honor

VooDooDog decided to use confetti with the opening title sequence to give off that wedding movie feel.
VooDooDog shows creative ways to in their work of title sequences and show how title openings are as important as another part of a film.
