Dead Wake Title Sequence





Goal


Create a title sequence for the fictional television program Dead Wake,  an espionage thriller set during the Cold War.




Mood Boards


In terms of imagery, I wanted to evoke a feeling of being surveilled, an everpresent threat, and nuclear technology. Aesthetically, I wanted to achieve the look of an analog monitor, almost as if you were watching on a submarine radar scanner.


Story Board





Image Treatment/Style Frame

To evoke the feeling that you were watching through a monitor on a submarine, I utilized an effect that mimicks CRT displays, pixelating and leaving afterimages.





Audio

I used FL Studio to compose and produce all music and sound design, which gave me the freedom to tightly align the audio with the visual pacing and tone.
