We created a title sequence for a CNN documentary film, “John Lewis: Good Trouble.” It was our second time collaborating with director Dawn Porter, after her Netflix documentary “Bobby Kennedy for President.” Dawn’s team had an audio narration laid out for us to tell the important historical events in John Lewis’ lifetime. The director told us that the documentary is not so much about his biography, but rather recent events, how he was still pushing and fighting for injustices around the world. We wanted to capture John’s energetic personality in our sequence. We designed the moments in illustrative 2d style and animate them in 3d space to achieve the parallax, adding more depth to the scene.
