I didn't just want the credits on a black background or a still because I thought this was would look unpolished. I didn't want to invest lots of time into it but it needed to match the aesthetic to the rest of the production. I rendered single images with alphas of apples and of a tree trunk. In after effects I key-framed the apples and added some motion blur to make a short loop. I was very happy with the result and think it will add that extra bit of refinement to out animation.
I was unsure what fonts to use for the titles and credit but I knew I wanted ones that were somewhat light hearted. A lot of film uses fonts that are quite conservative however animated shorts are normally select a little more creatively. I used a font for the opening titles that looked somewhat hand drawn because it was quite slender in design so didn't distract too much from the opening shot but still had an fun feel to it. For the credits I scrolled through a list of them in premiere, I knew I wanted something that went with the first set of titles but didn't know what. My graphic design/typography knowledge is fairly rudimentary so most of of the decision making was mainly done via taste.
