Title sequence designed and directed by Framestore Design Studio for Nat Geo's docudrama MARS.
Created using After Effects and Cinema 4D.What was initially a 2D abstract exploration of Mars inspired by aerial and satellite imagery captured by the HiRISE camera, grew into a piece with a more narrative approach whilst still keeping in elements of abstraction.The main brunt of the work was created in After Effects, with some of the more literal 3D imagery being done in C4D and then heavily comped. We also created Rorscharch ink tests which were a nod to the duality of the protagonist twin sisters, and also the two planets Earth and Mars.
