Kuntzel and Deyga X The Simpsons


Kuntzel and Deygas's eccentric title sequence to Spielberg's comedy drama thriller Catch Me if You Can is the most well known title sequence within the film industry. Kuntzel and Deygas's combination of typography and animation is what makes the sequence so effective. Deygas's naive animation style merged with Kuntzel typography gives the video its own original style, simple but very effective as shown through the use of primary colours, text and playful music. By including these elements it encourages there originality to be appreciated more. 
So much that there have been replicas of Kuntzel and Deygas's title sequence in major estabished companies such as U.S No.1 animated show The Simpsons.


  
In an episode of the Simpson they too created there own version as a homage to Kuntzel and Deygas's title sequence.  The theme of catch me if you can is maintained but The Simpsons have add there own humorous concepts to the title which they are well known for doing a lot of the time. The collaboration between the two is very successful as they both have a huge reputation within there field of moving image and  by doing this they have assisted each other to increase there status even further making themselves highly recognizable. This is also a great example that supports my opinion on my previous blog of  Appropriation. By using concepts and techniques of others entwined with your own can result in a powerful outcome with the help of other creative minds.
