Question Free resources on how to create title sequences?

Hello, All!

I've been working on teaching myself motion design for a while now, and feel that I have a pretty good grasp of working with AE. I wanted to take my skills into a more practical use and create a title sequence, but don't know too much about the process to create one.

I've been doing some research and think I was able to scratch the surface of the phases in conceptualizing with mood boards, style frames, and storyboards before animating, but I'm finding that my level of knowledge is not enough to actually start building out title sequences.

So I wanted to ask Reddit to see if anyone has some recs that are free where I can get a good breakdown on the process to create a title sequence? I'm really looking for information on how to conceptualize, how to pick out mood boards and determine style frames. I don't necessarily have an issue with the technical aspect so much I have a hard time understanding the thought processes of determining what works and what doesn't for each phase of the process. So anything that people can offer would be so helpful!

Thank you in advance!

Outside of searching pinterest or the web generally there are these 2 sites. As for how to build styleframes youtube is your friend on that.

Oh man I know this isn't much help but maybe you can track it down. There used to be a user called Binky on a forum called mograph.net and he made an amazing series of videos on storyboarding, composition, building a reel etc.

I've found traces of it on waywayback machine

Building a reel

Binky's posts

In the second link you can see the topics Video about storyboarding and Video about composition

Anyway maybe someone more internet savvy than me can find away to access them

On a side note I am a title sequence designer so can answer any questions
