SCENE 01 / TITLE DESIGN CREDITS
Title Design & Credits
Cinematic title sequences and credits that set the tone and create memorable first and last impressions.
Title design and credit sequences create the typographic and visual elements that open, close, and brand a production. From elegant main-on-end credits to elaborate animated title sequences, these elements establish tone, satisfy contractual obligations, and leave a lasting impression on audiences.
We connect you with title designers who create distinctive opening sequences and professionally formatted credits for your production. Our team coordinates design development, contractual credit requirements, and technical delivery to ensure your title work is visually compelling and meets all distribution and union obligations.

Title Design and End Credits for Australian Features and Streaming Originals
Here is how this works in practice. Title design and end-credit work in Australia is delivered by Heckler Sydney and Melbourne, Cutting Edge Brisbane and Sydney, Range Films Sydney, Disney Studios Australia, Village Roadshow Studios Gold Coast, White Chocolate Sydney, and independent design studios across the eastern seaboard.
Here is the short of it. Pipeline runs Adobe After Effects, Cinema 4D, Houdini for FX-driven main titles, DaVinci Resolve Fusion from Black Magic Design (Auckland-founded, Australian/NZ-headquartered) for online conform, and Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for type and key-art layouts.
Here is the breakdown. Type and key-art design draws on Australian typographic heritage and the lineage of distinct title work from Moulin Rouge! (Luhrmann 2001 — 8 Oscar noms, Best Production Design and Best Costume), Elvis (Luhrmann 2022 — Mandy Walker ACS ASC Cinematography Oscar nom), Mad Max: Fury Road (2015 — 6 Oscars), Furiosa (Miller 2024), Hacksaw Ridge (Gibson 2016), and Lion (Davis 2016 — 6 Oscar noms).
Here is what that looks like on the ground. End-credit packages reconcile MEAA Equity-rolled cast credits, IATSE/MEAA crew credits, MPAA-style billing-block construction for theatrical release through Hoyts, Event, Village, Palace, and Reading Cinemas, and sites-specific safe-area needs for Stan (Australia's largest local SVOD since 2015), Binge, Kayo Sports, ABC iview, SBS On Demand, Netflix Australia, Amazon Prime AU, Apple TV+ AU, and Disney+ AU.
Here is how the picture comes together. Credit-localisation deliveries cover Indigenous-language acknowledgement passes cleared through AIATSIS protocols (the standard 'Acknowledgement of Country' opener on ABC, SBS, and many feature openings), Auslan accessibility for ABC and SBS (Auslan official since 1998), plus subtitle and dub-card alternates in Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Korean, Italian, Greek, Hindi, Punjabi, and Arabic. Australian Type Board ratings always sit in the head titles for theatrical and rated streaming.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a title sequence package?
Our packages typically include concept development, style frames, storyboards, animation production, music synchronization guidance, and delivery in multiple formats. We work collaboratively throughout the process to ensure the final sequence perfectly captures your vision and enhances your production.
Can you handle union credit requirements?
Yes, we're experienced with guild and union credit requirements including WGA, DGA, SAG-AFTRA, and IATSE specifications. We ensure proper credit order, sizing, and timing while maintaining creative presentation. We can work with your legal team to verify compliance.
How long does title design take?
Timeline depends on complexity. A simple lower thirds package might take a week, while an elaborate main title sequence could require several weeks to months. We establish clear milestones and maintain communication throughout to meet your production schedule.
Do you create titles for international versions?
Yes, we design title systems that adapt to multiple languages and markets. This includes creating flexible templates, managing text reflow for different character counts, and ensuring cultural appropriateness. We can deliver localized versions for any territory.
