In complete contrast to his opulent CG Chief of War titles for Apple TV+, Studio AKA director Marcus Armitage sketches a tactile hand-drawn open for Eyes of Wakanda, the animated anthology miniseries streaming on Disney +.

From Studio AKA: “Responding to an irresistible creative brief, Marcus adeptly developed a graphic language that captures the essence of the series while maintaining a visually distinct style.
 

“The inclusion of select 3D elements, such as bits of white chalk flying during impactful moments, adds depth to the traditional style.”

 
“Employing a minimalist 2D hand-drawn technique with white chalk against a black backdrop, the sequence emanates edginess while upholding its cinematic quality. The inclusion of select 3D elements, such as bits of white chalk flying during impactful moments, adds depth to the traditional style.

“The title takes viewers on a journey through time and space. Each transition is designed to seamlessly transport viewers through camera movements and optical illusions, fostering complete immersion in the narrative and amplifying focus on the warriors and their noble quest.”
