Title Sequence for Maharani Season 4 (@sonylivindia Series)
 The series follows Rani Bharti, played by @iamhumaq , a former homemaker who rises to become the Chief Minister of Bihar. In Season 4, she begins her second term and grows into a national contender, she clashes with a Prime Minister struggling to keep his coalition together, setting up a high-stakes battle for power.
 For the title sequence, we framed Rani’s rise as a David vs Goliath moment. Using the metaphor of chess, she appears as a lone Queen advancing toward a towering King backed by an entire army. This symbolic showdown unfolds across a miniaturised Delhi, built from the architectural landmarks that represent the country’s political seat of power. We crafted this world entirely in CG, designing custom models, landscapes and textures to capture the scale of the system she is up against and the resolve it takes to stand alone within it.
 None of this would be possible without @dkh09 ma’am bringing us on board to work on this massive series made by @kangratalkies ! Grateful to the director of this season, @nirdeshak , for trusting our team to pull this off. Title Sequence Credits:

Title Sequence for The Royals (@netflix_in Original Series) Starring @ishaankhatter and @bhumipednekar , this series follows the ideological clash between an old-school prince and a modern-day tech entrepreneur, set against the backdrop of a contemporary fairy-tale world. Tradition and modernity are at odds, yet somehow entwined. For the title sequence, we imagined a palace caught in the act of transformation — its ageing interiors shifting in color and form, evolving from regal heritage to flashy modernity. We treated the space like a character in transition, mirroring the journey of royalty adapting to a fast-changing world. We built this fictional palace from scratch — custom 3D models, shaders, environments, the works. The goal was to create a space that feels just as lush and exaggerated as the show’s world, while visually capturing the collision of two generations and ideologies. Big thanks to @picsofpinks and the amazing team at @pritishnandycommunications for letting us reimagine tradition through a modern lens. A true royal reboot. 👑 Title Sequence Credits: Studio - @stray.motion Creative Director - @jishnuchatterjee Producer - @shreedharbhende CG Lead - @_karanworkjari Additional CG - @parth9513 3D Modellers - @amishjain225 , @montrec_inc 2D Motion Graphics - @motion.musee Cloth Sims - @fl3vi Compositing & Edit - @jishnuchatterjee Storyboards - @_potarto_ Title Typography - @jishnuchatterjee Legal - @prashant.daga1098 #TheRoyals #TheRoyalsOnNetflix #TitleDesign #straymotion

Title Sequence for Lootere (@disneyplushotstar Original Series) Off the coast of Somalia, when the passengers of an ill-fated ship are taken hostage by pirates, an unlikely hero must step forward to save them all. Directed by @jaihmehta , along with @hansalmehta as the showrunner, this gripping series unfolds in a country on the brink of a civil war. The show demanded something colourful and high on energy. It was a lot of fun to figure out how to embody the rich cultural aspects of Somalia along with the high-octane action that can be expected from the series. We combined 3D animation with some experimental Compositing techniques to create this look. The distinct colour palette is meant to set the tone for the series set in a foreign land.

Title Sequence for Mrs. Deshpande (@jiohotstar Series) Starring @madhuridixitnene , Mrs. Deshpande follows a convicted serial killer who assists the police in tracking down a copycat murderer who uses the same green rope as the murder weapon. This series was directed by @nageshkukunoor and produced by @applausesocial . For the title sequence, the idea was to place the viewer in the final moments of the victim. An endless length of green rope weaves through a void, slowly forming shapes that resemble hands, feet, and eventually a face. The rope finally reveals the face of the killer herself, Mrs. Deshpande, the last thing the victim sees before everything fades out. The entire sequence exists in an abstract limbo space, somewhere between life and death, giving the visuals a dreamlike, almost fever-dream quality. Creating the rope animation and sculptural forms required a mix of different CG techniques, along with careful simulation and compositing work. We also shot a live-action plate of the incredible Madhuri Dixit specifically for the title sequence, which was a rare and very exciting opportunity for us.

Tile Sequence Breakdown: Maharani Season 4 (@sonylivindia )
 Here’s a look at how we created the title sequence for Maharani Season 4 👑 The concept was to frame Rani Bharti’s rise as a clear David vs Goliath moment. Using the metaphor of chess, she becomes a lone Queen advancing toward a towering King and his army, set against a stylised miniature version of Delhi that represents the seat of political power. The entire sequence was built in CG from scratch. Every structure, landscape and prop was designed to feel like a hand-crafted miniature, complete with scaled textures, precise surface detailing and controlled imperfections that give the world its tactile charm. We pushed the lighting heavily, using sharp contrasts and pockets of shadow to evoke the cloak-and-dagger nature of politics and to heighten the sense of tension within the environment. We also sculpted detailed CG likenesses of eight key characters from the series, including @iamhumaq , @vipin.sta and others, to ground the metaphor in the personalities driving the story. Huge thanks to @dkh09 for bringing us on board for this massive series by @kangratalkies , and to @nirdeshak for trusting our team throughout the process. Couldn’t have asked for a better collaboration! Title Sequence Credits:

45,000 fans sang as one with A. R. Rahman, and every visual carried the responsibility of honoring that experience. Each song had its own identity, and the visuals were designed to reflect that, whether by drawing from the story the song told, the visual language of its music video, or creating a sense of familiarity that deepened the audience’s connection. At the center of it all was A. R. Rahman. This was not just another show for him. He spent countless hours with us from the inception of this new concept called Wonderment, collaborating on every aspect of the creative process. It was a privilege to also work with Rodney and Riyas at Fairgame, whose positivity, and expertise anchored so much of the process. To Ashwwin, who not only led as project director but also co-developed this IP from the ground up. I saw him hold it all together with clarity and persistence, pushing this dream into reality. To Percept Live and Harry, thank you for the trust. To Jo Entertainment, thank you for backing this vision. Working alongside Shiamak and his incredible team has always been a joy. Much of his work you never see in my videos, because the focus is on the screen content, but his impact on stage is undeniable. Also grateful to Aradhana, Sonali G., Ayush, and Nikita. Each of them brought their own strengths and perspectives, and it was an absolute privilege to collaborate with such talented professionals. A special mention for Sanchit, who ran these visuals. To Harold, the magician of light, what you did to extend the visuals beyond the LED was remarkable. To Jay, Ashish, Pawan, and the entire team at Star Dimensions and Ideation, thank you. And to Warren, someone I have known for a long time and truly one of the finest in sound, it was an honor to share the same stage with you. And finally, my Hueman Creative family, who made this vision real. I could not have asked for more.

This is not a million dollar set. It’s our visual content at the Middle East Event Awards 2025. Designed to blur the line between screens and structures. The kinetic walls The particle room The automations The illusion of glass and metal None of it is real. Just flat LED panels. The concept started with a simple thought, “Events are an intersection of structure and flow” and a rough sketch of what that could look like. We took that idea and turned it into a 3D moving set that looked like it was built. I share standout event concepts from around the world. But every now and then, I share something we’ve made, when it feels like it matters. And this one did. It was fantastic working with @meeventshow and @mediaproav . In addition all the various teams that came together to make this event possible @mistikaliveme @eventlabme and @simplesolutionsgcc I am pretty certain I am forgetting a few people. Apologies and thank you all!!

Title Sequence Breakdown for The Royals (@netflix_in Original Series) For the title sequence, we imagined a royal palace mid-transformation. It begins in a weathered, timeworn state- faded colours, dusty textures, aged gold. Slowly, that world evolves into something bold, vibrant and modern, just like the characters in the show. We modelled key elements like the throne, crown, arches, clothing, jewellery, and accessories from scratch, referencing their appearance in the show so they feel instantly familiar to the viewer. Each item was shaded and textured to reflect its journey: worn down by time, then revived with modern polish. A big challenge was figuring out how to transition between these two states. We used a blend of textural de-ageing, saturation shifts, object realignment, and animated patterns to guide your eye and keep the motion fluid. The title typography also went through several versions before we landed on the right balance with something that felt regal and classic, but still bold enough to hold its own in a modern fairy tale.
