Graves

Main Title for Lionsgate
Karin Fong had to go deep into the presidential archives for this one. Nick Nolte stars as America's leading man in EPIX channel's first original series. The sequence is tasked with showing a highlight reel of President Graves' history leading the nation: from inauguration to his South West retirement, showing his family, his achievements, and in his opinion - failures. Stop motion animation was used to journey through the headlines and expose the life and legacy of the presidential figure which this political satire hinges on.
