X-men first class song during recruitment

This sequence was designed to give a very brief primer on the time period, the setting, as well as show the relationships of the characters in this film, as they are very different from the previous movies and audiences shouldn't be confused as to why Professor X and Magneto, enemies in the original trilogy, are the best of friend in this prequel. Here's some info from the Vimeo page: Set during the midst of the Cuba Missile Crisis, X-Men: First Class tells the story of the first team coming together, before they would become the heroes and villains we know from the original X-Men Trilogy. Now check out this fan-made opening credits sequence, which uses well-known design ideas from Saul Bass and various James Bond credit sequence designers to condense the basic ideas of the characters and the time period in which the story takes place.

Some of the film's sets and costumes really seem to go to town with the visual signifiers of the time period, and there have been other nods to the early '60s in vintage-style magazine covers and fan-made posters.

The '60s setting of X-Men: First Class has offered some great opportunities for visual design.
