Opening Titles | O Pioneer

Coat of Arms

This title sequence is for our documentary film, O Pioneer!

The titles tell a story. The terrain is built from real maps from the Appalachian mountains, each character is represented abstractly, and there are hidden messages that unfold in the bigger story.

Specifically, we modeled Nellie’s pin cushion, a train similar to what we filmed in James’ back yard, and the Green Bank satellites from a field trip Tim takes with his daughters. We’re so thankful for a gifted team that made these possible.
