Little Lord Fauntleroy (1995)

Concept and creative process

Opening titles for an adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel. Producer Julian Fellowes wanted the titles for his drama serial 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' to reflect the physical novel, so a mock-up of the Victorian book was used with a separate title page for each of the programmes, the illustration mixing seamlessly through to the opening shot in each case. The sequence was achieved with a motion control camera rig in a small set using props and specially commissioned artwork by Ron Bone.
