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 first trailer is woven with bits and pieces of this story that made history as the world watched. It definitely has those signature Sorkin storytelling vibes as it paints a tense portrait of the aforementioned clash — which is as timely back then as it is now. Written and directed by Sorkin, a peaceful protest was set to take place a the 1968 DNC and it quickly turned into a confrontation between the protestors and police and the National Guard. The organizers of the protest — including Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden and Bobby Seale — were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot and the trial that followed was one of the most notorious in history."
