TITLE SEQUENCE

Brief

We were approached to create the title sequence for the European Broadcasting Union’s new kids TV drama series - Tell Me a Secret.

Inspired by traditional light box set-ups and intricate cardboard cut-out designs, we opted for a mysterious little pop up book style animation.

Behind the scenes

We took a deep dive into lightboxes and cardboard cutouts, studying how they’re made and the way light bleeds through each layer. Using that research, we designed and modeled six beautiful 3D sets that felt realistic and tactile.

Various elements were rigged to allow our animation team to make things pop! If you look closely, there’s some subtle wobble and shake on the objects that appear.

Finally, we lit everything with blooms, shafts, and glows to bring the whole scene to life!
