Preparing the titles for a feature film can entail the main titles,
subtitles, lower thirds, end titles, and the end crawl. There
are a number of
technical and artistic issues for both the creation of the artwork
and its artistic treatment during compositing to avoid digital
artifacts.
The issue of how to make the titles 4x3 title safe is just one
of them. Steve has production experience creating the titles for
over 20 feature films at 2 & 4K resolutions for both Digital Intermediate
and D-Cinema productions and even several video features as well.
Our sister-site, TitleWright,
provides more infomation on the titling process as well as examples
of our work.

Composite & Treatment
Sometimes the title artwork is provided by the client as a white
over black hicon image and is looking for an artistic treatment
to be added during compositing. A title treatment normally entails
a title color, an outline, and a drop shadow.

Artwork & Composite
Often the mission is to actually create the original title artwork
as a white over black hicon image then apply the title treatment
during compositing. Usually the client has already designed the
titles in an Avid and has provided a video resolution reference.

There are times when the title design is done at video resolution
and the client needs film resolution artwork prepared that is suitable
for compositing. For an end crawl this typically entails a 5000
frame animation at 2k resolution.
Harsh Times - subtitles
Design & Composite
On occasion the client actually needs the design of the titles
done in addition to preparing the artwork and executing the compositing.
