The Matrix Title Sequence

Course: MOME 709, SCAD Atlanta Role: Direction, Design & Animation

A title sequence for The Matrix (1999), one of my favorite films and a study in hyperreality and what counts as real. I made it for MOME 709: Motion Media Cinematography and Editing at SCAD Atlanta, under instructor Alessandro Imperato.

Creative Treatment

The sequence is an entry point into the film’s surreal reality. Live-action footage and CG elements blur what’s real, while noir lighting and hard contrast build tension around the film’s central theme: choice. Having glimpsed the truth, viewers are left to weigh their own.
