Title sequence & logo treatments I created for @naughtydog's "Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet" announcement trailer, made using filmed practical FX and analog video hardware. The spiral background is a real miniature magnetic vortex that my producer/wife Stephanie Sheridan and I made in our studio with resins, paints, chemicals, and other materials spinning in a laboratory beaker filmed in macro at 1000fps with the Freefly Ember camera. The Naughty Dog paw logo and @PlayStation logo animations were created with a Sony Trinitron CRT television filmed at 2000fps with the Ember and a PrismFX lens filter, and then glitched with three different @Tachyonsplus analog video glitch processors chained together with RCA cables.
Thanks again to game director Neil Druckmann and the Naughty Dog art directors for trusting my mad scientist methods to bring some true analog flavor into their spectacularly retro-tinged game announcement! Be sure to watch the full trailer on @naughtydog's channel, you'll see more of my analog flair peppered throughout!
"Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet" is the next original game from Naughty Dog, who made some of my favorite games of recent decades like The Last of Us 1-2 and Uncharted 1-4.
Filmed at Rob Sheridan Productions in Tacoma, WA.
