BLACK WIDOW

Main Title - Direction + Design + Animation

UI - Direction + Design + Animation

For Black Widow's first solo outing, our team at Perception was asked to develop the unique technology of The Red Room, the evil organization that turned Natasha Romanoff into the Black Widow, as well as tell the entire backstory of Natasha from the 1990s to present day with an opening title sequence.

The opening titles for Black Widow are designed to retell the story of Natasha's journey from a teen in the 1990s to the Black Widow in the present day. Director Cate Shortland wanted the sequence to feel raw and authentic, like it could fit within a documentary, so we created a sequence that felt like it was created entirely with found footage. This meant that our team at Perception joined the filmmakers on set to capture these moments with access to sets, props, locations, and actors.

A behind-the-scenes look at the entire process.

Like most technology in the MCU, The Red Room is futuristic, however, it has a retro flair. To help tell the story that their tech is somewhat stuck in the past, we designed the holograms with projectors, the interfaces glitch, the design is utilitarian, and the color is often monochromatic.
