A simple concept title sequence for the Apple TV series Severance
First, I wrote down some ideas and drew a 10-part storyboard. I was heavily inspired by the simple yet story-driven title sequence of The Morning Show, another critically acclaimed Apple TV series.
Next, I created the assets in Adobe Illustrator. I created the lines, the mountain, the Lumon dropper, the teardrop, the character circles, and the people.
Then, I edited the audio of the official title sequence in REAPER. All of the assets were placed in After Effects, and I created the motion graphic.
