Veterans Of Color Film Titles

This is a rough animatic of my story boards for Veterans of Color the audio behind it is scratch.. its along the lines of what Im looking for but the bugle call is the wrong color. I  like the idea of pulling back and including the discipline and cadence of troops marching as a audio backdrop for the titles.



Description of Title Sequence: Veterans of Color

Decorated in colors that represent country,freedom,sacrifice and service, our military veterans proudly display these symbols on their chest. The excitement and energy of the colorful pattern and color is offset by the quiet and clean white copy on a black name tag which carries an implied meaning using only the soldiers last name. This title treatment explores using this simple visual relationship as a means to style the credits. Meanwhile the color of the wardrobe cycles through from navy, green to black representing the change and breadth of experience African Americans and people of color have experienced while serving in the United States Military.












I have done some visual research to try and find the aesthetic for my title sequence options for the film Veterans of Color.











opt 1: Fatigues / Military Dress:

This concept uses the format from military dress name tags and uses colors and details of decorated veterans uniform through out the intro title sequence as background / tactile imagery.


























Opt 2: Enlist

This option would utilize camera depth of field in after effects to highlight the copy within this title sequence as if information had been written on a military enlistment application.
