SCENE 01 / TITLE DESIGN CREDITS
Title Design & Credits
Cinematic title sequences and credits that set the tone and create memorable first and last impressions.
Here is how this works in practice. 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 set up tone, satisfy contractual obligations, and leave a lasting impression on audiences.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with title designers who create distinctive opening sequences and professionally formatted credits for your production. Our team sets up design development, contractual credit needs, and tech delivery to make sure your title work is visually compelling and meets all distribution and union obligations.

Title sequences and credits for Chinese theatrical and streaming masters
Here is how the picture comes together. Title design for Chinese shoots has matured alongside the post-2015 theatrical boom, with main-title sequences for Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Frant Gwo and Wuershan features setting the visual standard for domestic blockbusters and motivating a generation of Beijing and Shanghai motion-design boutiques. Our planning places title work with designers fluent across both ends of the brief.
Here is how this works in practice. Elegant typographic main-on-end credits for art-house and festival features bound for Shanghai International Film Festival, Beijing International Film Festival, Pingyao and FIRST, and elaborate animated openers for tentpole theatrical releases shipping through CFA distribution and the streaming originals on Tencent Video, iQIYI, Youku and Bilibili. Designers handle Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Pinyin and English typography in parallel, manage the bilingual main-title and credit-roll briefs that have become standard on Chinese co-productions with overseas talent, and respect the cultural and political naming-order conventions enforced by NRTA review when the project ships theatrically inside mainland China.
Here is what we have to work with. Each package mostly has concept development, style frames, storyboards, motion-design production, music-synchronisation guidance and delivery across the formats Chinese shoots need. DCP-ready elements for theatrical, ProRes masters for streaming, IMF packages for global delivery, and social-cut variants for Weibo, Douyin and WeChat trailers. Credit accuracy is handled through structured legal-team review covering CFCC and CFA contractual needs, China Film Group co-production credit conventions, MCSC music rights placement, and the WGA, DGA, SAG-AFTRA and IATSE union needs when the project has overseas talent under guild contracts.
Here is the layout. The picture on the ground is more specific. We design title systems that adapt across areas — vertical-orientation Chinese variants for Hong Kong and Taiwan releases, simplified-script masters for mainland distribution, English-language masters for festival circuits and global streaming. And structure the work as flexible templates so episodic series keep consistency while accommodating per-episode talent and storyline variations. Final masters integrate cleanly with the colour and conform pipelines at Beijing and Shanghai finishing facilities.
