ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE - TITLE SEQUENCE
Title Sequence for 'All The Light We Cannot See', the miniseries based on Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller on Netflix. Opening with an intimate focus on a finely crafted wooden model of a small French town during WWII, the sequence gradually expands its scope. Soft light delicately permeates, serving as a metaphor for the blind protagonist's mental visualization through the model. The light becomes a subtle guide, tracing the model's streets like the protagonist's fingertips. This evolving perspective mirrors her tactile exploration, symbolizing a deepening connection to her environment—a quiet and immersive journey through the tactile world of a blind girl's imagination, encapsulated within the wooden contours of a model town.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
MOTION TESTS
The main ingredients of the sequence were the model city and the movement of light, so we had to be very intentional about how we used them. The idea was to gradually reveal the city through the use of slits of light moving over the contours of the buildings. As we progress and get wider on our view, we also introduce some ambient light to bring more of the city into view.
