The 100 series is one of my favorite series. I watched all the seasons and I think that the story is amazing, so picking this series as my next project for Title Sequence was an easy one.
As my previous projects, this one was filled with challenges and was super fun! One of the main obstacles I encountered while producing this project was the crashing and the morphing of the swords into the infinity symbol. I ended up using a combination of MassFX and Particle Flow to achieve the result I wanted. I probably could have continued to tweak it to make it even better, but I wanted to stick to my self-imposed timeline for completing this project in under a month.
Another challenge was to not be influenced by the actual title sequence used in the show and to come up with a concept and ideas, that were very different from the existing one.
All the scenes were completed in 3Ds Max, rendered with VRay, and finished in Adobe After Effects and Premier Pro.
As with my previous projects, prior to getting inside 3Ds Max and starting to laying out blocks for pre-visualization I mind-mapped the ideas and then did some rough sketches to see how everything might look together. I learned from Sava Zivkovic’s posts with the short films and the Behind-the-Scenes shots on Behance, specifically the Bounty Hunt and the IFCC 2017 Main Titles.

A lot of the workflow was right from the Learn Squared course by Ash Thorp, Main Title Design. The whole course was excellently designed as it was very easy to understand and follow. Thank you Ash Thorp and the Learn Squared crew! https://www.learnsquared.com/courses/main-title
