Main title sequence for *1923*, an epic Western drama and sequel to *1883*, streaming on Paramount+.
The concept was inspired by vintage postcards of the era, using landscape and cast photography to evoke still portraits and moments of story coming to life. The sequence reflects the show’s wide-ranging settings—including the American West, Africa, and World War I—while maintaining an epic tone.
The goal was to build on the visual language of *1883* while offering a fresh interpretation, rooted in the photographic style and technology of the period.
