The title sequence begins as a fighter is facing off with his opponent. As the fighter
delivers kicks and punches to his foe the camera perspective is taken from that of the
fighters hands and feet as if the camera is attached slightly above them. When the
fighter lands a blow, the full internal impact is shown through stylized reverberations
and an internal exposure of fluorescent bones and organs.
I had the opportunity to collaborate with the amazing artists at Spacejunk, where we spent a solid 3 months working nights and weekends laboring over this awards open. The concept was conceived as a collective amongst the artists, and each artist was responsible for the direction of their sections. Everyone boarded out what their vision was and an edit was birthed!
My role consisted of concepting the overall look and feel, designing style frames, logos, animation of the soccer ball section- which was created in Cinema 4D using Vray and composited in After Effects. In addition I designed a program cover and animated bumpers, image plates and lower 3rds to be used during presentations.
