The final title animation combines noise, distortion and RGB splits, with the music playing a big part in how it all comes together. I worked closely with its rhythm, timing the visual hits and changes to land just where they needed to.

Sound on for the full experience.

A title with a heavy metal spirit

The director’s initial idea was to explore a logo that could belong to a rock or heavy metal band. Needless to say, I felt right at home.

I tried different ways of taking it in that direction: bold, compact lettering, sharp cuts, lightning bolts and some rougher, more jagged versions. We eventually went with a simpler typographic approach, but I wanted to share the exploration and some of the ideas we developed along the way.

For La Maleta, I designed and animated the opening and end credits, and explored several directions for the film’s logo.
