the graveyard book

title sequence motion graphic

Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book is one of my favorite novels. This title sequence explores what it might look like as a series on a streaming platform like Netflix. Sorry for the minor spoilers, if you haven't read it: the title sequence loosely follows the events of the first chapter, in which a man, Jack, is sent to assassinate a family. The youngest child, a toddler, is the only one to escape doom after crawling out of the house and into a nearby cemetery, where he is protected by its ghostly residents. That's just the beginning of the story!

Please note that none of the people or studios named in this title sequence were involved in any way (as much as I'd love the opportunity to work with Guillermo del Toro). I just thought it would be fun to assemble a dream team.
