I am Ironman!

Prologue
Imaginary Forces

I decided that I wanted to take a look into one of my favorite movie' ending title sequences. Ironman' credit sequence, created by Prologue, is a visually stunning, fast paced animation. The Executive Producer of the credits is none other than Kyle Cooper. Cooper was previously associate with the Imaginary Forces design firm, but left and is currently working with Prologue.

The end titles begin with a picture of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), which then gains a faux finish effect and transforms into a colored outline of the Ironman suit. The animation then dives into Ironman' suit displaying all the inner workings in the neon outlines as the credits pop up on the screen. The outlines begin to look as if they are animated blueprints for the actual suit, which is a very nice touch. The song, Iron Man by Black Sabbath, compliments the credits well because of its connection to the movie and its iconic guitar riffs. The film starts to hit the iconic riffs and the focus changes to images that represent the movie such as the 7 Rings logo and the weapons of Ironman. As the iconic part of the Ironman song plays the colors also change to neon blues, purples and reds, not just the orange that was seen for the first half. We then get to see the outlined version of the first suit Tony created being assembled. This outline is an rustic looking green, which is a very big difference from the heroic blues and reds that create the second Ironman suit. This sutit hen pulls apart to show the newer improved suit underneath, which is a visually stunning scene. The camera then goes inside Ironman again and pans out to display the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo and Jon Favreau's name.

I believe this credit sequence is perfect for the film. Ironman was a very intense, action-packed film and Kyle Cooper captured that feeling in the credits exactly. He goes a great job keeping the viewer looking at the screen because of the bright neon colors which yearn for attention. The music flows very well with the animation and progresses the film perfectly. I highly enjoyed these credits after the film and I'm not in the least bit surprised Kyle Cooper created them. The style and execution are impecable as with all of his other projects. The transitions from each scene to the next so that a new credit may appear are smooth and flawless. I did not think using neon colors on a black background could be so effective or appealing but this credit sequence works.
