The Life List
Title Card & In-Film Graphics for Netflix
Learning how to play piano, reconnecting with her father, and finding true love are among the many to-dos listed on Alex’s teenage bucket list. This list was buried in the past⸺ until Alex’s recently deceased mom challenged her daughter to complete it through her will. In collaboration with Director Adam Brooks, we designed the main title card and in-film graphics for a special montage sequence that marks each milestone in her heartfelt pursuit.
what we did
Director Adam Brooks came to us to create onscreen graphics that would enhance how a key sequence shows the unfolding of Alex’s quest. Set against the evocative notes of Clair de Lune, the montage builds to an emotional crescendo as Alex’s life list progresses. To emphasize her triumphs, we visualized a way for the onscreen handwriting to work with the footage. The resulting animation underscores how Alex “checks off” each item to become closer to the woman her mother encouraged her to be.
