Course details
The power of creating an intriguing title sequence can take a movie, TV show, or documentary to another level. There's even an entire community of title enthusiasts out there, as evidenced from online resources such as Art of the Title. In a way, title sequences help bridge the art of filmmaking even closer to graphic design. The Creating a Mograph Title Sequence series looks specifically at this art form. In this course—the first installment in this two-part series—Eran Stern and Nick Harauz break down the steps involved in visualizing and planning out a title sequence. Using a real-world title intro, Eran and Nick look at everything from the initial pitch, to being creative on a budget, to creating a rough storyboard. Upon wrapping up this course, you'll have a strong foundation in the steps required to prepare striking motion graphics assets for a title sequence.
