This is very helpful. I just watched The Kingdom last week and the opening title sequence blew me away. I'm guessing having a background in general CG and typography would be the most important, or would studying say just typography and After Effects be enough to break ground in this line of work?
That's probably because most people would say save the money ($40-80k) you'd spend on school and instead quit your job and do internships full time. Either way you'll start at the bottom as having a degree means nothing in the film industry.
I'm interested in making opening/ending credit sequences for film or tv. Are there companies that focus just on this, or do you hire a generic production company that handles all special effects?
