THE WHEEL OF TIME
OPENING TITLES
Based on Robert Jordan’s best-selling books, Amazon’s TV series adaptation of ‘The Wheel of Time’ is the first of its kind. In a world where having hope gets you far but magic gets you further, our title sequence sets the tone for the enduring fantasy saga.
Process
I joined the "Wheel of Time" Imaginary Forces design team to work on two extremely intricate shots. It's hard to tell if "pyro-driven threads explosion" was any more complex than "epic tapestry unraveling in a powerful manner," but establishing the look and feel of both shots and meeting the expectations of legendary director Karin Fong was a journey itself. In the end, I am glad I was part of this talented team, and hope to have a chance to work on something equally exciting in the future.
