THE SLAP: OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE

The creative team at Trollbäck + Company engaged Christopher Webb to help realize the opening sequence for NBC’s miniseries THE SLAP, using in-camera visual effects. At his FX WRX, Chris and team engineered a camera motion, projection, and animation optics rig that could be operated in real time and controlled via hydraulics and precision servo motors. This allowed the camera to move in almost any direction while photographing projected motion graphics through layers of glass and optical elements. Images of NYC were also layered in-camera using specialized miniature projection units and moving mirror rigs.
