Opening Titles for Traditional Instruments Documentary Series
This project features the opening titles created for a three-episode documentary series broadcast on a music channel. Each episode focuses on the making process of a different traditional instrument, reflecting the unique spirit of that instrument to the audience both visually and aurally.
The titles were entirely designed using 3D modeling and animation techniques. Each instrument – the Davul (bass drum), Darbuka, and Kanun – was uniquely modeled, detailed with minimal material textures, and enhanced with dynamic camera movements.
For each title, an original soundtrack was specially composed and performed using only the featured instrument of that episode, creating a complete and harmonious experience where visual and auditory elements perfectly complemented each other.
This work was designed to help the audience connect with the documentary and immerse themselves in the story of the instruments from the very first moment.
