Daniel Kleinman is a British television commercial and music video director who designed the title sequence for the James Bond series of films from 1995 until he was replaced by MK12 in 2008.In the majority of the Bond films that Kleinman designed (with the exeption of Casino Royale) he has informed the viewer of what the storyline of the film will be about via the use of how the women are portrayed in the sequence, for example in the Goldeneye opening, he has women tearing down communist icons implying that the film is set not long after the fall of communism.
In Die Another Day, Kleinman brought back the using of the title sequence to further the story (something not done since the opening of Dr. No) this also continued in the opening of Casino Royale (although Casino Royale's opening the use of naked women is absent).
I'd have to say that my primary reason for liking Kleinman's work is that I grew up watching the Bond films that he had designed the titles for, also my fovourite Bond film is Goldeneye which was the first bond film that he designed for.
