01 — Overview
An 18th-century martial arts thriller directed by Jon Shaikh, featuring Scott Adkins as a street boxer who infiltrates London's notorious Bedlam asylum to rescue his wrongfully imprisoned sister.
The Challenge
Establish the tone, era and geography of Bedlam in the opening minute, then bookend the film with a closing sequence that reminds audiences of the key characters.
The Approach
We composited period engravings, hand-drawn maps and blood-spattered typography into a kinetic title system — inviting audiences into the world of Bedlam and delivering them out through a character-led end title crawl.
