Working with the talented folks at Perception I had the opportunity to design and animate the main title sequence for WandaVision, the series streaming on Disney+. This was a career highlight. At the time, no one knew what Disney+ was or what it was to become. This sequence was Emmy Nominated for Outstanding Title Design.
To create this pixel world I set up a rigged system where an incoming video image is first broken into its red, green, and blue components. The split rgb data is then routed to its appropriate geometric location in the grid, where customized, hexagon shaped pixel geometry pulls and glows in its assigned r,g, or b value. Viewed from a distance, the full video image is reconstituted, but when close up, we can see a representation of each individual pixel.
