TITLE DESIGN

Sever was an alternative title pitch that we explored in parallel with a main title sequence that Refuge was hired to execute. While the producers ultimately chose a different name, the film is a psychological thriller that delves into the mind of a serial killer whose gruesome crimes center around the dissection of his victims' bodies, in his own twisted attempt to root out vice within the cities.

Synopsis

-

Given the themes of forensic science, we leaned into the visual cues of blood veins and medical instruments as foreshadowing within the story.

Inspiration : Veins and Instruments


 

We explored the idea of a pathogen spreading through the veins of the body as a metaphor for unchecked corruption and vice circulating through a city.


Pitch 1 : Traveling Veins


 

For mood, we explored another option that was bathed in a red light, a nod to both the development of photo negatives and to the red light districts where many of the crimes had been committed.


Pitch 2 : Red Light


 

In Motion

Animated final piece.
