Duncan Elms, creative director at Elastic in LA: “In these titles for AMC’s Dark Winds series, spiritual and natural forces together with the earthy textures and colors of the South West were used to create compositions and imagery invoking the show’s themes.

“Together with key moments and props from the show, we wanted to tell the story of the landscapes, characters, and nature of Navajo country. We used a combination of 2D and 3D designs, stock footage, and a live-action element shoot to create the final sequence.”
