Overview

Virtual Observers is a TV title sequence I designed for a fictional sci-fi universe, built around three virtual explorers drifting through deep space. I sourced footage from Severance and developed all compositing, color treatment, and motion graphics.

Process

Motion Tracking

I applied motion tracking to each ceiling panel, embedding individually selected video clips that follow the rotation, turning a single architectural shot into a multi-screen composition.

Masking

For each character, I used masking to slide a color background and data overlays into the frame, layering visual information without cutting away from the character.

Scene Transitions

Here is one character introduction I built around a horizontal screen shift, a rhythm that carries through the entire sequence.
