Imaginary Forces

Welcome to The Boroughs. You’ll have the time of your life! 🌅🏌️🌵🖤 Set within a seemingly utopian retirement community in New Mexico, The Boroughs is a supernatural saga from The Duffer Brothers and creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews. Here, senior citizens arrive to live out their golden years in sun-drenched comfort and mid-century style, until something begins to stir beneath the polished surface of the place they call home. Starting with the familiar test pattern that is broadcast into every resident’s living room, our title sequence takes you from the familiar through a desert landscape of scrambled signals and TV snow, where everything is vibrant, but nothing is really clear.

A new chapter in the Yellowstone universe For the main titles of Dutton Ranch, we stepped away from the familiar and built a world driven by metaphor. Where horses embody the Duttons, scorpions signal danger, and the wild beauty of South Texas becomes a character of its own. In this title, we continued our ongoing collaboration with Taylor Sheridan and 101 Studios, building on past work including Landman and Marshals, with Creative Director Alan Williams once again leading the charge. Blending live action with CG, we crafted a sequence that captures both the grit and grandeur of the landscape. A huge thank you to 101 Studios, Taylor Sheridan, Michael Friedman and our partners at Paramount+ for the continued collaboration.

As the Imperfect Women finale airs on Apple TV tonight, the mystery finally fractures.

Already picked up for S2! Stranger Things Tales: of '85. We’re excited to share the title sequence our team created for the all-new Netflix animated series. IF creative director, Rob Slychuk, led the team to craft a main title sequence that honors the iconic opening of one of the most culturally relevant show in history, while also giving it an identity all its own by introducing a bright, electric neon palette in a nod to the classic cartoons of the 1980’s. A huge thank you to Netflix and Flying Bark Productions.

Before the story unfolds, the world has to pull you in. This one starts with the current. Created by Taylor Sheridan, The Madison follows a family navigating grief and renewal in Montana’s Madison River Valley, where the land itself becomes a quiet but powerful force in their journey forward. For this project, we continued our ongoing collaboration with Taylor Sheridan and 101 Studios—building on past work including Landman and Marshals, with Creative Director Alan Williams once again leading the charge. We crafted a sequence that flows alongside the emotional current of the series, where landscape, memory, and grief are deeply intertwined. Our team worked to shape a cinematic opening rooted in authenticity, partnering closely with production to capture bespoke footage that reflects Montana’s quiet power, while weaving in visual metaphors that echo the characters’ journey toward release. A huge thank you to 101 Studios, Taylor Sheridan, Michael Friedman and our partners at Paramount+ for the continued collaboration.

Shoutout to our IF Creative Director Anthony Gibbs for serving as a jury member for the 1.4 Awards this year. It’s always inspiring to see emerging filmmakers pushing the craft forward, and we’re proud to have Anthony helping spotlight the next wave of creative talent. Congrats to all of the incredible entrants. 👏

Who caught Sunday’s episode of Marshals? 🔥 Our main title makes its appearance starting in Episode 2, and we’re stoked to share the work our team crafted for the series. Led by Creative Director Alan Williams, we set out to create a title sequence that captures the scale, grit, and energy of the world created by Taylor Sheridan. The sequence features sweeping Montana vistas, double exposures, and kinetic action moments: fire, explosions, wildlife, and firearms—all choreographed to convey energy, and tension. Each shot was designed to feel tactile and real, ensuring that the viewer’s immersion in the Sheridan universe remained seamless. Huge thanks to our incredible collaborators at 101 Studios, along with Taylor Sheridan and Michael Friedman, for the continued trust and partnership. Always a pleasure building within this universe together. ✴️ Marshals is now airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ → Step into the frontier & view the work: https://lnkd.in/eepYgjAd Shoutout to our team for wrangling together another great project: Alan Williams, Max Strizich, Anna Chen, Ihsu Yoon, Mert Kizilay, Olga Midlenko, David Weinstock, Timothy Williams, Pascal L., Joel Binder, Dewey Cassady, Ariel Evans. #Marshals #Paramount #MainTitle #TitleDesign #TitleSequence #ImaginaryForces

As I get situated in my new role at IF, I’m reaching out to my network to reconnect with designers/creatives I’ve worked with over the years (or people you think I should know). In particular, I’m interested in… Senior designers who understand the hustle and craft of the work — equally comfortable shaping ideas on a pitch and crafting refined frames ready to present on a theatrical marketing campaign. Hybrid design / motion thinkers who live between concept, design, and animation. I know these are unicorns that can move fluidly across all three. I want to meet more unicorns. While portfolios rooted in entertainment are a good fit, we’re also open to those with experience in brand design, corporate identity, and other disciplines where strong design thinking and storytelling are central. We have some new perm roles about to be opened up (not yet posted) but also want to tap into a new stream of freelance collaborators who want to work on some of the most interesting (and creatively ambitious) projects out there. In just the last few months, we’re proud to have partnered on the 2026 Winter Olympics with NBC Sports, Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights with Warner Bros., NBC’s 100th anniversary branding campaign, and with the Duffer Brothers on the beautiful closing chapter of Stranger Things. Of course there’s also work for PlayStation, Sphere, and numerous hit shows on the biggest platforms. If someone immediately comes to mind, please feel free to connect them with Beth Skopp (cc’d here), who helps manage our creative talent pipeline. And if this sounds like you, send Beth a short note with a link to your portfolio or reel, a brief introduction, and a few lines about the kind of work you’re excited to be doing next. Please do repost or share directly. No DMs to me as they’ll get lost at sea. Denny
