Film - Baggage - Opening Credits Matte Paintings

We have an extended scrolling opening credits sequence to start the movie off. It was popular in films from the 30's to have the credits sequence before the film and the director wanted to seize upon that to establish the world we were diving into.

The final shot in our opening credits sequence brings us to the Cafe de Baggage where our movie takes place.  Layers and layers of composited miniatures in front of our cityscape matte.

We needed an old theater marquee to composite over our miniatures that would light up and the title of the movie would explode from.
