DV Widescreen Square Pixal? No, how about HDV 1920×1080?


The title sequence looks immense on my television at home.

Hope you all enjoy it tomorrow!

Time to Render!


Its 23:16 and I'm rendering out the final draft of my title sequence. This has been a long, hard, but most importantly a challenging project. One of which I am extremely proud of what I have managed to produce, and how much I stuck to my original ideas and origins for the original concept of which being based on the "Spider-Man 2" titles. We will see what my classmates and teachers have to say on Tuesday when everyone’s work is presented throughout our I.T session.

I hope you guys enjoy it!

This isn't gonna edit itself!


During the last week I have been tweaking and fine tuning this project to near perfection.

It’s proved harder than I thought it would have of to be honest, but I am very near completion, and with only a final few bits of masking to do, and a little text segment at the end, I should hopefully have my project rendered out and uploaded by Sunday night.

Tease yourself.

Here is a progress shot of how I am getting on. Notice the similarities with the Spidey titles?

Pre-production begins....

I have screen grabbed a few stills from the film, and like in the “Spider-Man 2” titles they will be telling a brief story, more like an outline, during the duration of the credits. I have given them a “smudge stick” kind of look in Photoshop, as this is artistic and mimics the Spidey credits well.

Spidey's Influence


Since my course and I are working on a title sequence for the original “Back to the Future” film I thought some research on movie titles sequences should be done to really get a sense of what I have to achieve.  When hearing about the project, and doing a little research, the title sequence that came to mind first was the, “Spider-Man 2” titles. I remember when I watched this film at the cinema and the titles came on, they just got me so pumped and excited, I guess I really want to make people feel like that when they watch my titles, and so much so that they feel it necessary to watch the film, or films.
So I will base my idea on “Spider-Man 2” and try and replicate certain traits and similarities to the best I can, I will post work on my blog to show my progress and the eventual direction I turn.

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit.


When Melvin first told us our project and what it entailed I was intrigued as I have never done anything like this before. Creating a title sequence is something that I would never choose to do personally, but I don’t think anyone would to be honest. It’s good though, as everyone is on the same wave length and at the same point in terms of experience, so it will be exciting to see what skills each of us are able to come up with and produce for this project.
