On this project, I art directed a small team and animate the opening titles of the movie.
“The illustration style is dangerous, elegant, and a little playful—just like the movie. It tastefully hints at the fantastical too. Once your sequence ended with that classic circle-open transition, I was excited for what was to come.”
