The Scarlet Pimpernel (1999)

Concept and creative process

Titles for ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’, a series of feature-length dramas based on Baroness Orczy's classic tales starring Richard E. Grant, Elizabeth McGovern and Martin Shaw. The title sequence was composed of a montage of production shots of Richard E. Grant, intercut with other specially filmed motifs of the period. The titles were edited digitally and the captions overlaid.
