Maurice Binder

Maurice Binder is best known for creating the gun barrel sequence for the the James Bond films, as well as designing and creating the openings for all the Bond films (excluding From Russia With Love and Goldfinger, both created by Robert Brownjohn) prior to Godeneye in which he was succeeded by Daniel Kleinman after his death in 1991 from Lung Cancer.

Binder's work for the bond films mostly consisted of silhouettes of naked women and shapes, his style of work has made the bond title sequences some of the most recognisable pices of cinema. His title sequences help create the fantasy of James Bond and instantly gets the viewers into the mood of the film.

Just by using auch a simple style Binder has managed to create on of the most iconic title sequences in the history of cinema and has become the influence of his successors that have created James Bond openings.
