Zoo
Client CBS Television Studios
Director of Photography Rich Paisley
Art Direction & Animation Alphonse Swinehart and Kenneth Kegley
Although another studio created the main title sequence for CBS's new drama Zoo, we were tasked to create a “saga sell” that would play at the beginning of each episode – a sort of introduction to the show. Along with fellow art director Kenneth Kegley, I helped direct, design, shoot, and animate each of the two versions created, set in a lab and based around the research done by of one of the show's characters. The extended version is below.
