Breaking Bad - Title Sequence

I wanted to keep my title sequence short, keeping to the 40 second mark, telling the story of Walter White and the transformation that he took in becoming Heisenberg. To achieve this I wanted to use illustrations to tell the story instead of my own film footage. I felt that I wouldn’t get that same atmosphere that the TV show has by using my own footage. When planning this out I was really inspired by the artwork of Grand Theft Auto, particularly the latest games loading screen. This was the goal in which I wanted to work towards with my sequence.

My sequence is it’s telling the story from a different angle. The original show never really had much of an opening sequence so the use of illustrations helps make this seem all the more interesting and it gives off that dark vibe that the show is representing.
