Director Tim Burton’s first shot at television, the new Netflix series Wednesday, opens with these appropriately spooky and only occasionally kooky titles from CD Aaron Becker and the crew at Filmograph in LA.

Aaron Becker: “A dream come true for our entire team, we crafted a haunting, hypnotic, deep dive into the mind of Wednesday Addams over an iconic score from composer Danny Elfman.

“Replete with the family’s trademark gothic symbolism, each frame of the sequence is detailed with imagery of the academic, creepy, and occult, as we plunge into the main character’s mix of the morbid and the curious, an evolving, coming-of-age dreamscape that more closely resembles a nightmare.”
