THE GUARDIAN DEMON - TITLE DESIGN
Overview
We had the opportunity to create the title design sequence for “The Guardian Demon”, a film directed by Tran Trong Dan. From the project’s early concept to its final completion, our team at Balance was fully involved in shaping this short but powerful piece, showcasing the creativity, skill, and dedication of our artists throughout the process.
LAYOUT EXPLORATION
For this layout exploration, we selected several key moments from “The Guardian Demon” to shape the foundation of the title design. Each chosen scene captures the essence of the film, allowing viewers to better understand its mood, story, and emotional depth through the visual language of our design.

STYLE FRAMES
For the style frames, we focused on creating a strong sense of depth and atmosphere. Each scene was carefully colored and layered to separate the foreground, midground, and background elements, allowing the visuals to feel immersive and cinematic. Through subtle lighting, tone adjustments, and shadow play, we aimed to bring a dimensional richness that reflects the mysterious essence of “The Guardian Demon”.
BEHIND THE SCENES
A closer look at one shot from our recent title design work — where multiple layers come together to shape mood and meaning. In compositing, every layer matters. Light, texture, type, motion — each one adds emotion and rhythm until the final image feels alive. A small glimpse into the craft behind the frame.
