2D animation, comping, and I also had the chance to contribute to the design of a few scenes in this opening title sequence for Amazon/MGM’s Spider-Noir TV show. This project won the 2026 Emmy® for Outstanding Title Design.
Spider-Noir follows Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage), an aging, down-on-his-luck private investigator who once lived as New York City's only superhero, The Spider. The Emmy-winning title sequence is a psychological unraveling. Inspired by classic film noir and early 20th century surrealism. Blending experimental animation, practical cinematography, and a few broken mirrors along the way.
