These circles represent secondary and minor characters that appear throughout the movie, though whether they are friend or foe remains unknown, based on the title sequence. At around this point in the title sequence, more circles of varying colors appear and join the main two in filling in “o”s and “i”s and begin to follow the circle representing Tintin. This vibration could also be them shaking in anticipation, because the characters were eager to get to the next plot point. The circles then ride as the “i”s on several different names as they form the abstract form of a boat and an airplane, signifying their movement by shaking up and down, or vibrating a lot as older vehicles were often known for. The two circles then dodge through more text, searching between bars as they form more credits, getting out in the nick of time, as is common in action movies.
CHARACTERS IN THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN MOVIE
This reflects a scene in the movie where they literally run into a predominantly brown clothed character who picks Tintin’s pocket, a major plot point. At certain points in the credits they interact with the text as if it is an environment to move around in and interact with, one notable occasion being a hall with columns created by an “m” where the circles run into another circle, a brown one. These two circles then move throughout the credits, inserting themselves into words and names as replacements for “o” or the dots of “i”. The way that the “characters” emerge from the names of the production studio is an interesting design choice, as it depicts the studios as giving life to the characters, which they did in a movie sense. They are also of different sizes to better associate with the two characters, with the yellow one being larger to associate with Tintin, and the white circle being smaller to reflect Snowy, a very small dog. The two circles emerge from the first “o” in Paramount Pictures and Columbia Pictures, respectively and change color to match that of the two characters’ hair, yellow and white. These circles represent the two main characters, the titular Tintin and his dog Snowy and bounced throughout the credits in the title sequence creating an abstract version of the movie’s plot. The title sequence did not use any images, though it does make use of basic shapes circles to be exact. The sequence uses shapes, movement, and sound to set the mood of the film, a fast paced adventure. The title sequence shows the adventure that the two main characters embark on, though through a more abstract form, utilizing basic shapes interacting with the text. The title credits could have gone the same route as several other comic book to movie adaptations, and embraced a comic style opening, but the movie decides to stand separate and focus on the story of adventure, the most central aspect of its roots.
