House MD main title started it all for me

ByTravis Vermilye

The House MD main title. That is the one that did it for me. I watched that show solely because I was so in love with the opening titles. If you’ve never seen the main titles for this show, or if it has been a while, take a minute. https://vimeo.com/27160284

The House MD main title created by Digital Kitchen in the early/mid-2000s is filled with beautiful transparencies, subtle timing, photography, video, microscopy, organic forms, and fine typography. It’s all backed by a great audio track – Massive Attack’s “Teardrop” that helps set the mood and pacing. I still love this piece and it really started me on the journey I’m on right now to learn more about main titles, and most importantly, to make a name for myself in the main title sector.

I’m in the process of working on a couple of main titles right now for documentary and short film projects with some of my friends and colleagues. I’lll be posting about the the things I learn along the way, inspirations, and reference materials. As I learn and create, I’ll also make a few tutorials to show my process.
