Squid Games 2
'Special Billboard'
Netflix brought me on as the sole motion designer to design and animate the app's front-page takeover for
Squid Game 2 season premier. A South Korean survival thriller television series by Korean writer and television producer Hwang Dong-hyuk. Working directly with two Netflix creative directors, I recreated environments from the show in
Cinema 4D and Redshift to test different animated directions, landing on a straight push-in through a door peephole.
That restraint was intentional. Give away too much and you lose the suspense, so the goal was to hook viewers without spoiling anything, all the way through to the final landing page: a 2D design I composited into the piece using 2.5D techniques in After Effects, timing it to match the velocity of the 3D camera.
