Saul Bass title sequence


any ideas on which glass/mirror/whatever thing he used for the title sequence to achieve that ¨analogic¨ distortion?

As a huge Saul Bass fan, I have to say that I was disappointed with his work on Seconds. I don't know how much he had to to with the "analogic" distortion background but the lettering work lacked the Saul Bass identity - it could have been done by anyone.

This must be the least "Bass-ish" title sequence of all his output.

Actually, this is one of my favorite Saul Bass titles. A wrapped human face bent & distorted & re-assembled, all to the accompaniment of dissonant organ music, what's not to like?
