We are looking at this site because it has great examples and lots of inspiration to help with our project and creating a title sequence. This website is filled with interviews from great title sequence deisgners like Lisa Bolan and Aaron Becker. The site also includes title sequence examples from tons of genres of films, tv shows, student projects, video games, and event titles.

For example, Lisa Bolan's work is characterized by incredibly complex compositions that mix live-action footage with 3D elements and motion graphics.

Title sequences really set the tone for the entire project. This website has given me an entirely different perspective.
