I think your vids are fabulous. I always think of them as beautiful piece of cotton candy.
How do you work on titles? What kinds of things do you consider when deciding on font, placement, color, movement, effects, style, etc. Basically, tell me everything you know about title making.

Haha oh Sayid. First of all thank you! Cotton candy! That’s the sweetest (get it hah) compliment I’ve ever gotten. I really appreciate that :)
Second. I've been thinking about my "answer" to this for the past couple days but all I've really been able to come up with is…I don’t really know lol. The titles are always the last thing I do on a vid because the way I want them to look usually depends on the finished product - the look and feel of the vid itself. I try and sort of customize them to fit the look of the vid. And I also like to think of my title cards as more of a graphics thing than a vidding thing. I almost always make the title card (or the base for the title card) as a still image in photoshop and then bring it into Vegas or After Effects. So I usually try to think about them from a graphics standpoint.
A few examples of titles that I’ve made as still images in Photoshop and brought into Vegas: → Apple Candy ( vid). So the coloring on that vid was really warm and yellowish, so to make the titles match that I just made a

→ The Second Time Around ( vid) I used film burns for also. (Which I found here if anyone is interested). I just layered a whole bunch of different ones on top of each other and then put the white text on top of that. The whole theme of the vid (and the title itself) was based on the characters repeating their mistakes over and over again. So in AE I made the word "second" a 3d layer and then I would rotate it and as it rotated have it transition into different words (third, fourth, etc). Then I just duplicated all the text layers and put a linear blur on those. I kind of wanted the whole thing to look like a reel of film going around and skipping and blurring.
→ Karaoke Soul ( vid) I actually tried to model after the text in the trailer for Daybreakers. It's probably the most effecty I've ever gotten with my titles. I did it in AE and basically had four separate layers (of the same text) on top of each other and added different effects to each and then offset them. One I had a gaussian blur, one I had a glow, and on one I had what's
