Bringing movies like “Spirited Away”, “My Neighbor Totoro”, “Howl’s Moving Castle”, and much more to life through the world of Japanese animation.
Hayao Miyazaki is a dedicated artist, planning never to retire and to continuously create/animate for as long as he lives.

Hannibal
Opening Title Sequence
AfterEffects - Premiere Pro 2025
Project: College Work
Audience: Fans of Hannibal, psychological horror, crime thrillers & mature audiences interested in dark, suspenseful television.
Purpose: Create a 30-second opening title sequence that introduces the TV series.
Style: Minimalistic/Unsettling
This project is a 30-second animated sequence inspired by NBC’s television series Hannibal.
Research/Inspo
First aired on NBC, April 4th, 2013.
I was inspired to create an opening title sequence for the popular television show.
Elements I have to keep in mind:
Psychological horror/thriller
Crime Thriller
Minimalistic
Serial Killers
Mysterious/Tense
MoodBoard/Refrences
Storyboard Planning
Final Animation
I wanted to take on and try a more minimalistic approach. The Hannibal title sequence is minimalistic in nature, with a bright white background in contrast with dark and light reds.
The imagery is supposed to remind the viewer about red wine and blood based on the character of Hannibal Lecter. Hannibal Lecter is a genius former forensic psychiatrist…who's also a cannibalistic serial killer who works with detectives.
Investigation Discovery
TV Bumper
AfterEffects - Premiere Pro 2025
Project: College Work
Audience: Viewers interested in true crime, criminal investigations, forensic science, & documentary-style crime programming.
Purpose: Create a 10-second TV Bumper for a channel of my own choice.
Style: Dark/Cinematic
This project is a 10-second television bumper/AD created for Investigation Discovery.
Research/Inspo
The reason why I chose Investigation Discovery (from the Discovery Channel) was mainly because I watch true crime before I go to bed. Both of my parents used to be police officers. So, I’m no stranger to these sorts of topics.
Elements I have to keep in mind:
Mystery
True Crime
Unsettling
Police/Detectives
Non-Fiction
MoodBoard/Refrences
Storyboard Planning
Final Animation
I relied heavily on red and blue flashing light effects and sirens in the background. Specifically, police sirens. Maybe videos of slow panning shots of police caution tape with a blurred background of a crime scene.
