Open Road’s branding and design division, PopClutch, last week rolled out a new hyper-energized main title sequence for HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, now in its 21st season.
With music performed by punk-pop band Green Day, the edgy motion graphics illustrate the types of thorny issues that the weekly news commentary show takes on.
Fun fact: Sharre Jacoby, who joined Open Road from Known to launch PopClutch, has worked on every iteration of Real Time’s main titles since the show launched in 2003.
"The trailer for Judas and the Black Messiah is powerful, intense, and speaks volumes to the current social climate. The film details the assassination of Black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton, and how the cops formulated his betrayal. The editing of this piece is exceptional, building up the intensity cut by cut and with frequent fades to black. The score and sound design establish a profound tone for the piece. Judas and the Black Messiah is coming in 2021."
