Maurice Binder (August 25, 1925 – April 4, 1991) was a film title designer best known for his work on 14 James Bond films including the first, ''Dr. No'' in 1962 and for Stanley Donen's films from 1958. He was born in New York City, USA, but mostly worked in Britain from the 1950s onwards. The Bond producers first approached him after being impressed by his title designs for the 1960 Stanley Donen comedy film ''The Grass Is Greener''. He also worked with Stanley Donen in ''Charade'' (1963) and ''Arabesque'' (1966), both with music of Henry Mancini. ==James Bond== Binder created the signature gun barrel sequence for the opening titles of the first Bond film, ''Dr. No'', in 1962. Binder originally planned to employ a camera sighted down the barrel of a .38 calibre gun, but this caused some problems. Unable to stop down the lens of a standard camera enough to bring the entire gun barrel into focus, Binder created a pinhole camera to solve the problem and the barrel became crystal clear.〔Cork, John & Scivally, Bruce (2002). ''James Bond: The Legacy''. Boxtree, 46.〕 Binder described the genesis of the gun barrel sequence in the last interview he recorded before his death in 1991: At least one critic has also observed that the sequence recalls the gun fired at the audience at the end of ''The Great Train Robbery'' (1903).〔Chapman, James (2000). ''Licence to Thrill: A Cultural History of the James Bond Films''. Columbia, 61.〕 Binder is also best known for women performing a variety of activities such as dancing, jumping on a trampoline, or shooting weapons. Both sequences are trademarks and staples of the James Bond films. Maurice Binder was succeeded by Daniel Kleinman as the title designer for 1995's ''GoldenEye''. Prior to ''GoldenEye'', the only James Bond movies for which he did not create the opening title credits were ''From Russia with Love'' (1963) and ''Goldfinger'' (1964), both of which were designed by Robert Brownjohn. *''Dr. No'' (1962) *''From Russia with Love'' — gun barrel sequence only (reused from ''Dr. No'') (1963) *''Goldfinger'' — gun barrel sequence only (reused from ''Dr. No'') (1964) *''Thunderball'' (1965) *''You Only Live Twice'' (1967) *''On Her Majesty's Secret Service'' (1969) *''Diamonds Are Forever'' (1971) *''Live and Let Die'' (1973) *''The Man with the Golden Gun'' (1974) *''The Spy Who Loved Me'' (1977) *''Moonraker'' (1979) *''For Your Eyes Only'' (1981) *''Octopussy'' (1983) *''A View to a Kill'' (1985) *''The Living Daylights'' (1987) *''Licence to Kill'' (1989) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maurice Binder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
