Working with South Korean prodco Studio Mir, Eddy directing duo Faux Soleil and Paris animation house Brunch Studio craft a frenetic head credit sequence for the Netflix series adaptation of Capcom’s Devil May Cry game.

From the team at Eddy: “Netflix and Mir sought a standout piece that would pay homage to the game’s legacy and hype up its fan base while introducing a fresh visual treatment to attract new audiences. To achieve this, we developed an art direction centered on sharp silhouettes and vibrant lighting, crafting a graphic, pop-infused aesthetic.
 

“Motion design plays a dual role, reinforcing animated sequences with shifting textures and silhouettes while also integrating key series elements.”

 
“This piece distills the essence of the series into a bold visual statement, blending gothic metal, high-octane action, and Dante’s unapologetic coolness. High-contrast compositions blend flat colors with glitches and dynamic textural effects, incorporating motifs, screen tones, FX, and grain.

“The 2D animation embraces anime Sakuga influences, isolating characters in striking compositions rather than anchoring them in fixed environments. Fast-paced, layered action shots maintain fluid and intense movement, staying true to the spirit of the franchise.

“Motion design plays a dual role, reinforcing animated sequences with shifting textures and silhouettes while also integrating key series elements including Darkcom logos, weapons, and other iconic props into graphic compositions and transitions.”
