“FREUD”

Title Sequence for Netflix’s “Freud”

8 Episodes - 8 Title Sequences

Our friends at Studio Superplus invited us to collaborate on the title sequence for Netflix's Freud. Their concept envisioned the lead actor depicted as a bust in various stages of decay, foreshadowing each episode’s story arc.
Our work involved both the technical side—such as 3D scanning,

scan data cleanup, re-modeling and rendering—and the creative process of merging concept art, sketches, and what started as raw scan data. The result is eight 4K title sequences, created through a constant back-and-forth between Studio Superplus’ art department and our 3D and compositing team.
