fiAn Infamous title sequence that uses the beautifully framed iconography of the eye is Vertigo which was bass's first collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock, in this he started to
experiment with shot film with animated elements. The scene starts with a
women’s face covering only half of the shot with the camera panning to her lips,
then slowly up to her eye, while the screen turns red and the camera actually
zooms seamlessly right into her eye, when colourful spirally animated graphical
elements warp on the screen and then eventually the camera reverses and pulls
back out of the eye again to frame back on the women’s eye. This was very
innovative at the time, which is taken for granted now. Bass was inspired by
the French mathematician Lissajous (of the 1800s) using his scientific pendulum
device with ink to create the intricate spiralling shapes.
