At Attack Studios, we prioritize delivering top-quality results that exceed client expectations. Working with us means receiving individual attention from me and the collective experience of our team (that expands when needed).

To succeed in your business, you need awareness, leads, conversions, and loyal customers.

Here's how it works: Send us a quick email with some project details to book a call. On the call, we'll get to know you and help define where you want to go. We'll do some research, evaluate your position, identify opportunities and create a specific plan to accomplish your goals. Then we'll make a custom animated video that is completely suited to your brand and clientele. Afterward, we'll implement the marketing and distribution strategy we made together, taking out all the guesswork, so you can succeed stress-free.

TESTIMONIALS
Jerry has a masterful knowledge of motion graphics and animation, and the way he was able to take my abstract thoughts and
create something from initial concept through completion was truly refreshing.
— Mike Paulucci, Director, Alrojo Films
Jerry is as intuitive and creative as he is tech savvy. I really loved seeing my ideas come to life. Jerry is an excellent animator and is good at building the right expectations for the job/timeframe at hand. I always appreciated that!
— Molly Porter, Marketing Director, Seyfarth Shaw
Attack Studios understood the creative treatment and interpreted design needs without any hand-holding.
We weren't just looking for someone to do what we said because we weren't looking for a paintbrush.
Instead, we found a painter who would add to the project as they saw fit with intelligent problem solving and creative design.— Christian Ramirez, Co-Owner & Lead Producer, Two Gents Digital
Jerry is a true professional – responsive and reliable; great at communicating; and is process driven while being creative
(there are not many right/left brain people – Jerry’s one of them). I highly recommend working with him.
— Jason Vargas, CMO, AKA
I would work with Jerry again in a heartbeat. Jerry is a perfectionist and it shows in the work he produces. His animation skills are top notch and he always met our deadlines. His demeanor is very laid back which makes working with him incredibly easy. I will definitely look to Jerry for future projects!
— Ryan Holt, Owner, No Limits Multimedia
Jerry Nelson is a talented and disciplined designer and animator. Creatively, he has a unique style that originates, in part, from his thorough knowledge of the tools of our trade. Work-wise, Jerry’s patient, and refreshingly ‘no-nonsense’; willing to see through whatever’s required, with a level of quality and efficiency that over-exceeds.
— Ben Poster, Producer + Shooter / Director + Editor, Leo Burnett

13 Types of Movie Title Design Sequences
There is a range of different types of Movie Title Design Sequences, Opening Credits, and Intros that filmmakers and directors use in their projects. Each one has its own distinct reason for existence and the role that it plays in storytelling beyond just showcasing the credit. The art of the title sequence is really a lot of detective work figuring out the themes of the story and putting that into a framework or motif of imagery that makes sense and adds to the narrative without giving too much away.
