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 end-credits design across feature, episodic, and festival deliveries
Here is how this works in practice. We set up title-design and end-credit engagements on Adobe After Effects, Cinema 4D, Cavalry, Houdini, and bespoke type-and-typography pipelines across Animais (Lisbon animation studio), Animanostra, Bando à Parte (Coimbra), Sardinha em Lata, LXmedia Studios Lisbon, Caleidoscópio, and the in-house title design teams at Ukbar Filmes, O Som e a Fúria, and Take 2000.
Here is how the picture comes together. Title-design workflows handle main-on-end and main-on-front title sequences, stylized opening title cards, episodic recap and bumper sequences, festival title cards for IndieLisboa (since 2004), LEFFEST, Doclisboa (since 2003), Curtas Vila do Conde (since 1993), Festival de Cinema de Faro, Fantasporto, MOTELx, Festroia Setúbal (since 1985), and Caminhos do Cinema Português Coimbra, plus the IGAC age-rating cards (M/6/12/14/16/18) required for Portuguese theatrical release. Typography handling supports European Portuguese diacritics (ã, õ, á, é, í, ó, ú, ç) and ligature-handling, with Brazilian Portuguese typographic variants for Lusofonia distribution and Mirandese co-official Portuguese regional language type for Trás-os-Montes content.
Here is what we have to work with. Foundries supplying type have Portuguese type-design houses Atipo, Plau Design, and CAST Coimbra, plus global foundries Commercial Type, Klim Type, and Grilli Type. End-credit crawls handle full Portuguese crew accreditation under DGCA (Direção-Geral das Artes) and ICA (Instituto do Cinema e do Audiovisual) credit conventions.
Here is the short of it. Portugal's title-design lineage carries the today's auteur catalogue. Pedro Costa's Vitalina Varela (Locarno Golden Leopard 2019) with its distinctive minimalist title treatment, Miguel Gomes's Tabu (Berlin Silver Bear 2012) with its silent-cinema-inspired title cards plus the Arabian Nights trilogy and Grand Tour (Cannes Best Director 2024), and Manoel de Oliveira's seven-decade title-design lineage spanning the longest active film career in history (Aniki Bóbó 1942 to his final 2015 work at 106).
Here is the layout. Global title-design credits routing through Lisbon facilities have had Indiana Jones 5: Dial of Destiny (Spielberg/Mangold 2023, partial The country shoot), 1899 (Netflix 2022 Portuguese co-prod), Glória (first Portuguese Netflix first 2021), Rabo de Peixe / White Lines (Netflix 2022 Azores), Frankie (Ira Sachs 2019 Sintra), Night Train to Lisbon (2013), and Lisbon Story (Wenders 1994 with Madredeus). EUR settlement at 23% IVA, full creator-IP retention by client under contract, Segurança Social ~34% on crew, RGPD/GDPR under CNPD oversight.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a title sequence package?
Here is the breakdown. Our packages mostly have concept development, style frames, storyboards, animation production, music sync guidance, and delivery in many formats. We work collaboratively across the process to make sure the final sequence perfectly captures your vision and boosts your production.

How long does title design take?
Timeline depends on complexity. A simple lower thirds package might take a week, while an elaborate main title sequence could need several weeks to months. We set up clear milestones and keep communication across to meet your shoot schedules.
Do you create titles for international versions?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Yes, we design title systems that adapt to many languages and markets. This has creating flexible templates, managing text reflow for different character counts, and making sure cultural appropriateness. We can deliver localized versions for any area.
