Haha excuse or not, i've been trawling youTube for some reference material of blaxploitation movie opening credits.
They originate from the 1970s and feature ace funk soundtracks so i felt that they were worth taking a look at in helping me with my animation.
I love the retro quality and pure nostalgic factor to them, plus their cheesiness works well on so many levels.
There's something pretty cool about the mixture of funk music and black dudes doing kung-fu.
First up is the intro credits for a movie called black belt jones
Shaft in Africa
Foxy Brown
Now i know this isn't blaxploitation, but Starsky & Hutch fits my theme and target audience perfectly.
Which brings me to a great clip which influenced me and gave me some ideas originally...
