Nathan Aardvark played Art Director and Lead Illustrator on this Emmy Award winning title sequence for Starz's 'Da Vinci's Demons.'
Last night's Emmys saw Nathan and the team crowned with the 'Outstanding Main Title Design' award for the show. Talking of the commission, a very proud Nathan says "The job was to create short animated illustrations to go on
top of footage from the show. I was supplied with various clips and
painstakingly sketched over the top of each frame....frame by frame! In the end I
had hundreds of drawings which were then composited later in post production. I
tried to keep it close to the classic style of Da Vinci as much as possible."
Another cool feature of the title is the crab cannon; when the music is played backwards the melody is the same. Watch the titles.
