Best of Title Sequences
BiG MACHiNE has created the new main title sequence for the 2nd season of the FOX sitcom “Breaking In”, starring Christian Slater. The cinematic, VFX-driven opening features the show’s characters at work at the fictional Contra Security firm.
Moving through various wings of the Contra office in a frozen moment in time, the firm’s oddball geniuses are introduced one by one: Cameron (Bret Harrison) solders the wrong part of a circuit board, igniting a dramatic explosion of sparks; ever-cunning Contra head-honcho Veronica (Megan Mullaly) laughs hysterically to the point of spilling her coffee; fanboy Cash (Alphonso McAuley) shoots up the office with a Nerf gun causing Molly (Erin Richards) to hurl a flurry of paperwork; and finally, Oz (Christian Slater) burns a top-secret document while puffing on a cigar and blowing smoke rings toward the camera as the sequence concludes.
BiG MACHiNE Creative Director Ken Carlson, who recently directed the main titles for the ABC sitcom “Suburgatory,” and Creative Director Steve Petersen combined their graphics, VFX and live-action production talents to created the mixed media show open. The duo collaborated closely with “Breaking In” creators Adam F. Goldberg and Seth Gordon (“Four Christmases”, “Horrible Bosses” and acclaimed documentary “King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters”.)
“Breaking In” airs Tuesdays on FOX @ 9:30p.
