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

PROCESS

DISCOVERY

Discovery: Our roadmap to success. We explore tone, audience, deliverables, and brand guidelines. This diagnostic phase yields findings and recommendations, ensuring your video hits the mark.

STORY

Crafting the perfect story device to match the tone and goals. We write and refine until every detail is captured. Simplifying complex ideas, we find the core message and forge an emotional connection.

PRE-PRODUCTION

After the story is approved by you and your team, we assemble the framework. Dialing in the project's look with style frames, sourcing music, and auditioning voice-over actors, we get everything ready for production.

DESIGN

Once the style is approved we create custom assets that are ready-to-animate. We flesh out the project with a full storyboard, pairing imagery with each scene. This reveals any story gaps, allowing us to refine and perfect the narrative.

PRODUCTION

Style and storyboard signed-off, it's time to roll! Voice talent is recorded, animation begins. We breathe life into your custom assets and illustrations, syncing them with the storyboards and voice-over timing. Let the magic unfold!

FINISH

From broadcast spots to web content, we deliver excellence. Expect proper color grading, voice-over, music, and sound design. We master compression, encoding, marketing, and SEO for maximum impact..

13 Types of Movie Title Design Sequences

November 2, 2021December 5, 2024

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.
