Toshiq reached out to me to create the official title and credits sequences for his final major project short film, ‘Don’t Be Cross’. This included creating the film’s opening title animation in addition to individual credit animations for each cast member to be included as part of a cinematic credits sequence.
With the narrative centered around religion and church, I sourced stills of stained glass that I then brought to life through motion design techniques within After Effects while designing a creative concept to display each cast member's name as well as their role in the production.
