Top 10 - Dexter title sequence

A mundane, morning routine task with underlying violent connotations - it perfectly sums up the tone of the show. I have always been a fan of this title sequence ever since I watched the first episode of Dexter. Although not an animation, the short bursts of moving image, viewed in close proximity work brilliantly. The sound also reflects the tone entirely. This is the write up which Digital Kitchen outlined in their pitch:

"Everything, no matter how mundane or beautiful, has an undercurrent of violence to it. It is just a matter of how closely you look. We are conditioned to see a blossoming flower as beautiful. But if you look closely, if you look differently you will see it more like an explosion. Here we see a mundane morning routine illustrated in extreme close-ups showing the underlying tension found in everyday situations making violence a part of everything."
