Spy Trap (1975)

Concept and creative process

Titles for a spy thriller ‘Spy Trap’, starring Paul Daneman as Commander Alan Ryan of the British Security Services and Tom Adams as Major Sullivan. The title sequence comprised specially shot live action clips of spying equipment and activities, composited in a split screen montage edited to the dramatic title music theme. The matte sequence to create the split screens and the programme logotype were filmed on a rostrum camera and combined with the edited live action in a film optical.
