Daniel Richard Perri (born August 11, 1945) is an American film and television title sequence designer. He has worked in film title design since the 1970s, and has been responsible for the main titles of several notable films including The Exorcist (1973), Taxi Driver (1976), Star Wars (1977), Raging Bull (1980), Airplane! (1980), and Suspiria (2018). Perri made contact with the film graphics designer Saul Bass and began to pester him for work at his studio on Sunset Boulevard. Eventually, Perri found work with Bass through his illustrator, Art Goodman. During his service in the US Navy, Perri served on the USS Repose and designed an on-board newspaper, entitled The Repose Reprise. After serving in the Navy, Perri went to work with Cinefx alongside Phill Norman, Wayne Fitzgerald Don Record, and a former school friend, Steve Smith. After a year, both Perri and Smith quit and went on to form their independent design studio, Perri & Smith. The pair worked together from 1969 to 1973, mostly on small, low-budget television features, but their credits also included films such as Electra Glide in Blue and several of Gene Corman's blaxploitation films. The designers were often exploited and clients sometimes failed to pay, and eventually, the business folded. Perri's big break came in 1973 when he was commissioned by Billy Friedkin to produce the main titles for The Exorcist, his first solo project. With a blockbuster film in his portfolio, Perri was now able to attract more work and soon found himself working on high-profile titles. For Nashville (1975), Robert Altman commissioned a main title sequence and a logo to be used in marketing. Perri produced an unusual, kitschy sequence inspired by low-budget K-Tel Records television commercials, complete with a loud, brash voiceover by Johnny Grant. In 1976, Martin Scorsese brought Perri in to design the titles for Taxi Driver. Perri took second unit footage and color-treated the film through a process of film copying and slit-scan, resulting in a highly stylized graphic sequence that evoked the "underbelly" of New York City through lurid colors, glowing neon signs distorted nocturnal images and deep black levels, accompanied by Bernard Herrmann's jazz soundtrack. Possibly Perri's best-known title sequence project came about in 1976 when his friend James Nelson was working on post-production for a new space fantasy film, Star Wars. Nelson recommended Perri to director George Lucas, who invited Perri to Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm's post-production operation at Van Nuys, California. Lucas briefed Perri to take inspiration from old 1930s cinema serials such as Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers that had inspired Lucas to write much of his Star Wars story. After struggling to come up with a concept that Lucas liked, Perri eventually developed a concept for presenting a textual introduction based on the opening credits of the 1939 Cecil B. DeMille film, Union Pacific, in which the credits are shown distorted by a sharp perspective and rolling along a railroad track towards a distant vanishing point. Lucas approved of the idea and Perri produced sketches and prototype mechanical artwork, supported by storyboard artwork drawn by the production artist Alex Tavoularis. This gave birth to the now-familiar opening crawl sequence that appears in the Star Wars films.

丹尼尔·理查德·佩里(Daniel Richard Perri,1945年8月11日-),美国电影和电视片头序列设计师。自 1970 年代以来,他一直从事电影片名设计,并负责了几部著名电影的主要标题,包括《驱魔人》(1973 年)、《出租车司机》(1976 年)、《星球大战》(1977 年)、《愤怒的公牛》(1980 年)、《飞机!(1980),[1]和Suspiria(2018)。 佩里与电影平面设计师索尔·巴斯(Saul Bass)取得了联系,并开始在他位于日落大道的工作室缠着他工作。最终,佩里通过他的插画家阿特·古德曼(Art Goodman)找到了与巴斯合作的作品。在美国海军服役期间,佩里曾在 USS Repose 服役,并设计了一份名为 The Repose Reprise 的船上报纸。 在海军服役后,佩里与菲尔·诺曼、韦恩·菲茨杰拉德·唐·雷奇和以前的学校朋友史蒂夫·史密斯一起在 Cinefx 工作。一年后,佩里和史密斯都辞职了,并继续组建了他们的独立设计工作室佩里和史密斯。两人从 1969 年到 1973 年合作,主要制作小型、低成本的电视专题片,但他们的作品还包括《蓝色伊莱克特拉滑翔》等电影和吉恩·科曼的几部亵渎电影。设计师经常被剥削,客户有时无法付款,最终,业务倒闭。 1973年,佩里迎来了重大突破,当时他受比利·弗里德金(Billy Friedkin)的委托,为他的第一个个人项目《驱魔人》(The Exorcist)制作了主要作品。凭借一部大片,佩里现在能够吸引更多的工作,并很快发现自己正在制作备受瞩目的影片。在《纳什维尔》(1975)中,罗伯特·奥特曼(Robert Altman)委托制作了一个主要的标题序列和一个用于营销的标志。佩里制作了一个不寻常的、媚俗的序列,灵感来自低成本的K-Tel Records电视广告,并配有约翰尼·格兰特(Johnny Grant)响亮、粗鲁的画外音。 1976年,马丁·斯科塞斯(Martin Scorsese)邀请佩里(Perri)为《出租车司机》设计标题。佩里拍摄了第二个单元的镜头,并通过胶片复制和狭缝扫描的过程对电影进行了色彩处理,从而产生了一个高度风格化的图形序列,通过耸人听闻的色彩、发光的霓虹灯招牌、扭曲的夜间图像和深黑色层次唤起了纽约市的“软肋”,并伴随着伯纳德·赫尔曼的爵士乐配乐。 佩里最著名的标题序列项目可能是在 1976 年完成的,当时他的朋友詹姆斯·尼尔森正在为一部新的太空奇幻电影《星球大战》进行后期制作。尼尔森向导演乔治·卢卡斯(George Lucas)推荐了佩里,后者邀请佩里参加卢卡斯影业在加利福尼亚州范奈斯的后期制作业务工业光魔。卢卡斯向佩里介绍了从1930年代的旧电影系列中汲取灵感,例如《闪电侠戈登》和《巴克·罗杰斯》,这些电影激发了卢卡斯写下他的《星球大战》故事的大部分内容。在努力想出一个卢卡斯喜欢的概念之后,佩里最终提出了一个概念,根据 1939 年塞西尔·德米尔 (Cecil B. DeMille) 的电影《联合太平洋》的片头字幕来呈现文本介绍,其中片尾被一个清晰的视角扭曲,并沿着铁轨滚向一个遥远的消失点。卢卡斯批准了这个想法,佩里制作了草图和原型机械艺术作品,并由制作艺术家亚历克斯·塔沃拉利斯(Alex Tavoularis)绘制的故事板艺术作品提供支持。这催生了现在熟悉的《星球大战》电影中出现的开场爬行序列。
