"We are but beneficiaries of both the depth of design and the intellectual complexities of Richard Morrison’s body of cinematic title sequences. We rejoice in the work put in to this post. Indeed what better than researching a man whose work is a foregone conclusion in heart and wonderment?
The son of a film editor, Morrison became a master at internalizing a director’s intent and distilling it for the title sequence. From Morrison, “I look for a nuance, a subliminal energy in a film that I can then work into an idea.”" - Cee Bee

“The optical effects in Brazil have quite a timeless quality to them. I did not consciously set out to create something so lasting. It was more of a serendipitous happening.
Terry Gilliam is a very hands-on director, throwing ideas at you and getting really involved. So, in this case creating the sequence was something of a process. I never quite knew what to expect, until seeing final effect and thinking, yeah that’s it! That’s usually how it all looks when you work with very visually striking directors. They will already have their own ideas and just try to work with me to create them. And so if you work for someone who is visually more inspiring, they tend to give you more rope… It is good experience though because it fuels your creativity and in a weird kind of way turns into something that is ageless, simple and unique. As with Brazil…” - Cee Bee
