AMPLE Entertainment turned to Mass FX to fully realize the opening title sequence for HBO’s The Invisible Pilot limited series. Mirror images and echoed repetition hinted at the duality of the main character. Using forward motion, the feeling of falling and surprise reveals around every corner, the opening title sequence is meant to hint at the twists and turns to come. We worked with directors Ari Mark and Phil Lott to reveal themes within the show without giving away any spoilers. 3D animation was used to give the appearance of 2D cell animation, but provide dimension and depth to pull off the intricate transitions and morphs. We also embraced the challenge of finding opportunities to integrate connected and provocative imagery across scenes to draw out the themes of the show, like hiding guns in the capitol building and razor blades in the airplane.
