Landman
Main Title for Paramount+
For Taylor Sheridan's Landman on Paramount+, we crafted a captivating main title sequence that encapsulates the allure and ruthlessness of the American oil industry. We created a rich, tactile visual experience, embodying the duality of beauty and danger within the "liquid gold" that defines the show’s world. With Billy Bob Thornton as a conflicted protagonist, this series dives deep into the complex interplay of ambition, family, and the elusive American dream.
what we did
Our approach to the main title was an intricate, in-camera exploration, using oil and light to capture the industry's depth and darkness. We carefully celebrated the cast with striking portraiture while honoring the omnipresence of oil as both a symbol and a lifeblood. Each shot draws viewers into a world where fortunes rise and fall, tethered to an unsustainable pursuit of wealth that is as alluring as it is destructive.
