THE BRIEF

What they needed

A studio needed a title sequence that set the tone for a premium series and a matching lower-third / credits system that any editor on the team could drop in.

THE EDIT

How I approached it

  1. 01

    Storyboarded the title beat-by-beat against the show’s theme music.

  2. 02

    Animated type and texture in After Effects with a subtle 3D camera move.

  3. 03

    Built a templated lower-third + credits package with editable text layers.

  4. 04

    Delivered alpha renders and a usage guide for the in-house team.
