Escaping Utopia - documentary title sequence is a finalist for Best.
Working closely with Mike Davison,
our goal was to capture the isolation and distortion felt by residents of the Gloriavale community, and set the tone for the series with a visually striking, hauntingly memorable opening.
Using the panelled glass found in institutional doors, we developed a treatment that conceals, contains and distorts.
Instead of relying on digital effects, we built a full analogue rig with glass panels, a laser-cut 3D typographic model, and cast member from the series. The result is a mesmerising sequence of organic aberrations—an opening that is as unsettling as it is beautiful.

The hero still image was also used for key artwork throughout.
