I had the incredible opportunity to join Octave Marsal’s team, tasked to create the title sequence for the original Apple TV show, La Maison. We decided to infuse this title sequence with subtle references to the show’s narration (via iconic objects, symbolic locations, storyline concepts) counterbalanced by a more mysterious method of storytelling. We believe that a successful title sequence should contain an enigmatic edge, inviting the viewers to discover and understand the meaning behind each sequence for themselves, while hiding a few Easter eggs along the way.
The title sequence follows the journey of Paloma’s character, here embodied by her dove emblem. As a parallel to the show’s plot, she is caught in between the obstacles and battles taking place between Vincent and Diane, the Ledu’s and the Rovel’s, represented by their giant hands taking over the city of Paris.
Behind the scenes videos mixing our first ideas sketched on post-it notes, live footage with the original accessories from the show that we shot for reference, 3D builts and After Effects compositions. An intense but rewarding process…!
