ABSTRACT
In 1994 when Seven was released, people were not just blown away by the film itself, but also by the excellent title sequence designed by Kyle Cooper. Title sequences got a huge boost from the enthusiasm for the one seen in Seven. It created a sense of anticipation for the film that would follow; just by the title sequence the audience became unnerved. Even the most utilitarian, functional purpose-only title sequence can have a little style and flair and bring up the level of the production. However, there are ways of overcomplicating a title sequence without some careful considerations for the workflow. This chapter presents some ways of setting up a title sequence that keeps the production moving quickly. After Effects has some very handy presets for text animation in the Effects and Presets menu. Text background integration technique has also been used on Heroes.
