What it takes to make a Title & Credit Screen

Finding the best way to present a title and credits screen. The solution should be simple and elegant as must not get in the way in the creative process of the telling the story.

2. Cinemagraph / Pictures

3. Video

4. Scrolling effect

5. Flipbook

6. Shadow

7. Augmented reality and Projection

Same goes with the credit screen where it give the audience a leeway to relieve their emotion and let them slowly prepare to get back to the real world.
