Create a title sequence (opening or ending) for a hypothetical film; Use a minimum list of credits as the required project duration is short (no longer than 1 minute).

Project challenges are:
- conceptualizing the hypothetical film’s story and distilling it down to a short synopsis, clearly communicating the core narrative idea and/or conveying its specific message
- developing a visual direction that best supports the narrative concept
- creating an overall narrative structure through storyboarding
- establishing the appropriate tone and mood for the story
- enticing the viewer through a heightened emotional experience and/or psychological response
- exploring how typographic elements (credits) can contribute to the overall visual strategy

“Time is broken. Tick. Reality coming undone. Tock. Everything that was and could be, is now. Tick. Memories of the past loom on the horizon. Tock. Every version of you scattered across time. Tick. A rusted landscape of shifting worlds. Tock. There is no longer an end. Tick. A universe of infinite beginnings. Tock. Return to the source. Tick. Fix the clock. Tock. Ground Zero.”

Narrative Premise: After an unknown event, our world has become a battleground of different realities, all fighting for the same space of existence. Everything that was & could be, is now.

Communication Objective: portraying a world that was constantly “shifting” between different versions of itself; a world that was utterly confusing, but somehow familiar.

The Structure and Pacing of the sequence were designed to be reminiscent of a ticking clock.
As the sequence progresses, these cuts become more sporadic as the “clock” begins to break
down and shift through different times - reflective of the show's concept. The Text Treatment
implies the narrative premise of “merging” realities, by having two shapes merge together to form a single letter. The shots themselves show snippets of alternate worlds that have found a home in our reality.
