Epic — Eleena Bakrie

EPIC Opening Sequence

I had the pleasure of helping with some designs for my friends at Ordinary Folk in Vancouver along with their good friends and collaborators Tim Challies and Stephen McCaskell for a lovely series they were putting together named EPIC. A show where we follow Tim’s journeys around the world as he seeks to learn about the history of several historical Christian artifacts.

We had the awesome opportunity to team up (once again),with our good friend Stephen McCaskell, who tasked us with putting together an opening sequence for a series Tim Challies is putting out next year. As the series will follow Tim's journey around the world in search of important Christian artifacts, we wanted to capture that sense of travel, adventure, and history in this short sequence, while also hinting at some of the locations and objects that will be featured. We ended up with a crazy blend of cel, 2D, and 3D shots that all come together to bring the viewer into the journey as Tim experiences it. Credits: Creative Direction: Jorge R Canedo E.
