hollow intentions
why?
A great title sequence sets the tone, offers a glimpse of what’s to come, and draws the viewer into the world they’re about to experience. Without giving too much away, it builds anticipation and intrigue, allowing the audience to feel both informed and excited. For this particular sequence, I drew inspiration from Catch Me If You Can and Only Murders in the Building, embracing themes of mystery, implication, and discovery.
what.
Strong & independent, Deliah faces life alone - but not by choice. She fears companionship. When she does encounter a man, disaster strikes. Every. Single. Time. Is it a coincidence?Is it bad luck? Is it childhood trauma lingering?
This unfortunate loop prevents her from experiencing true connection. She can’t seem to escape this never-ending cycle of terror and disappointment, leaving her tired, alone, and confused.
how.
Hollow Intentions is a title sequence that features subtle, deliberate motion that emphasizes the power of its illustrative elements. The shifting colors and movements mirror the changing moods, while the typography seamlessly integrates into transitions between scenes.
development
research.
Hollow Intentions’ title sequence is composed of illustrated frames connecting through puzzle-like transitions. The purpose of this title sequence is to give insight into an example of the main character’s journey and provide key elements and symbolism to give the viewer an idea of what the show will be about.
It highlights the main character’s journey throughout three different acts. Act 1 consists of introducing the main character and demonstrating her independence. In Act 2, the second character is introduced, and we begin to see a relationship form. In Act 3, the colors and music begin to shift, and the composition becomes more conceptualized, leaving the viewer curious about what’s to come.
