Here are some of the title animations and graphics packages made for several web series produced by Mode Media. The animations are meant to quickly and clearly introduce the show title, where the animation must resolve into the logo in the first 2-3 seconds. Titles are optimized for viewing on mobile devices and in social media. In most cases, the animation lives on a transparent background so that it can be placed over the footage by an editor. Many of the logos are white and have a more simplistic design in order to be legible against a variety of video backgrounds. The style frames show the episode titles, lower thirds, and upper thirds that correspond with the show title, therefore creating the overall graphics package.
This is the logo I designed an animated for a show called “You Can Dish It”. Below is the style guide template I designed for this graphics package. The background placeholder images are from Stocksy.com. Episodes from the series can be viewed here.
I also designed and animated the logo for “Right at Home”. The stock image used in the graphics package is also from Stocksy.com. Episodes of the series can be viewed here.
Intro of a show called “Bite Size” that I animated. The animation lives on a transparent background so that it can be placed over footage by the Editor. In this instance, the dark background at the end is a stand-in for footage.
The full series can be watched here.
For “Day Tripping” I also designed and animated the logo. In this case, the animation file exists on a transparent background so that the video footage beneath it can show through. In this example, a stock image from Stocksy.com is used in the background. View an episode of the series here.
In this instance, the background color is a stand-in for footage. I animated the string falling post-to-pose, then finalized the animation by adding the in-between animation. View an episode from the series here.
This is a demo of a title I designed and animated that uses a placeholder background image from the show. Episodes from the series can be viewed here.
