Title design for Holly Shervey’s black comedy about a short spell in rehab, via Warner Brothers Television in New Zealand. As I write, currently screening in NZ.
Titles for the Stan series Sunny Nights, featuring Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden as a brother and sister trying to start a tanning lotion company in Australia, to results that might charitably be described as ‘mixed’, given all the blackmail, threats and murders that ensue.
This was fun – they don’t really do title sequences like this any more. But this was a great opportunity to lean into the style of the original NCIS series and cement the show as a legitimate and immediately recognisable new member of the family.…
Simple title design for Ron Howard’s drama about the murders (or not) on Floreana in The Galapagos in the 1920s. Lots of fun exploring the world of German design in the 1920s to get to the final result. (Some examples below).
A quick and gritty job for a really fun show about a man in search of his missing father finding himself in a tiny Larimah-like town in the middle of the great Australian nowhere.
Big fan of Kitty Green’s work – I think Casting JonBenet is one of the finest films this century – so delighted to work with her on this. Unfortunately it did mean I spent about 3 months listening to a rave version of Down Under,…
Titles design for Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan’s feminist comedy murder thriller. The brief was “Broadchurch but funny”. I do remember asking what the scene immediately before the first title was and it was a scene where someone sets a corpse’s pubic hair alight and…
Title design, captions, end sequence and roller design for this Netflix biopic of Jessica Watson, the youngest person to complete a solo circumnavigation of the globe.
Title design for AMC+ and See-Saw Films’ outback vampire western, created by Warwick Thornton (frequently seen elsewhere on this site) and Brendan Fletcher (less so, but not by design). Had a few wildly different sequences including a 30 second extravaganza like what they used to…
Title design for a female crime caper set in the glamourous world of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs and the less glamourous world of the Filipino women who work there.
Operation Buffalo is an espionage thriller set during the British nuclear tests in South Australia in the 1956, when the Menzies government had welcomed British atomic bomb testing at ‘uninhabited’ Maralinga. An Australian Army engineer and WWII hero is charged with keeping the base functioning…
What a delight to work with Mirrah Foulkes on her unique and loopy first feature. Had to dial back a thou from my original pitch of complete adherence to contemporary design and layout (contracts, y’knaa) but still managed to slip in a lot of medial…
Nothing you’re about to see is true. Utter madness and chaos. Trying to track shots that were so selectively macro-focused I couldn’t even figure out the perspective the background was supposed to be at. Now in the glory of hindsight I can still revel in…
The more eagle-eyed among you may have already noted that this is pretty much exactly the same font and layout as David Michôd’s earlier film The Rover. To which we would both like to clarify, no, this is widely-tracked Garamond in grey text and not…
Kabooooom. Everyone’s doing faux VHS these days. Not enough of whom can actually remember what VHS looked like, so Nash and I thought we should let them know. Unfortunately my desire for realism meant working from an image at 240 pixels high, one concession to…
