THEM: COVENANT | Main Titles
Optical FX
Animation
Stills
The main titles for THEM: Covenant brought longtime collaborator Elliott Chaffer of Trollbäck+Company back to FX WRX to explore in-camera effects. Cinematographer and technical director Christopher Webb devised an approach to complement the team's retro-inspired design work. Specialty optics and moving light sources were employed to create atmosphere and dramatic visual landscapes. The work included live-action moving image, animation, and medium format still photography.
"Saul Bass and his iconic/graphic title sequences . . . have always been a huge source of inspiration to me. Honoring that tradition while also examining the violence and terror of redlining/mapping was the baton that Elliott Chaffer (Trollbäck + Co) and FX WRX took and ran with beyond my wildest dreams."
