Part of the 007 franchise, Thunderball (1965) follows James Bond through a tropical spy thriller as he hunts down stolen nuclear warheads in the Bahamas.

For this project, the brief was to design a modernized title sequence for a
pre-1980's movie from scratch. All visual assets had to be self-produced or sourced directly from the film's original material.

My take on Thunderball's title sequence draws from inspiration the silhouettes and color blocking often found in James Bond movie titles.
