Stylized to look and feel like a classic horror film from the 1930s or 1940s, all aspects of the “Werewolf by Night” production are designed to remain consistent with this visual language. For Director Michael Giacchino, all solutions needed to be authentic to the time period, ruling out CG as a resource.
To say the least, Sarofsky’s team accepted this challenge enthusiastically. This finished 106-second sequence is a magnificent visual feast of blood-red color over black, using iconic and novel horror glyphs in silhouette, highlighted by outlines of color that graduate into darkness. Titles appear in white with typography in the Priori typeface (inspired by old street signage and lettering from London neighborhoods), ultimately resolving into the Werewolf by Night logo designed by Andrei Popa.
