From the team at Spillt in Denver, CO: “‘Low Country: The Murdaugh Dynasty’ is a chilling, three-part docuseries that chronicles the legacy of the Murdaugh family, whose century-long influence over the legal system in South Carolina’s Lowcountry unravels amid accusations of fraud, deception, and murder.

“We challenged each other to bring as much depth of thought to this project as we all pushed our technical and creative chops. Everyone tossed creative ideas full of references, writing, textures, and tones into one big pile, which we debated to determine what could be shaped into unique concepts, then everyone went off to craft their own take on a possible narrative.

“We combined brainstorming, AI tools (DALL-E and Midjourney), and creative process, allowing for the progression of pacing without style frames. Instead, we edited stock and ripped footage, AI elements, and rough Photoshop comps to get the theme and pacing of the main titles locked before designing.

“When paired with a thorough description, this really helped in tonality by enabling us to design each shot based on the rough cut. But what’s particularly special is that every single person at Spillt contributed to the conceptual development and ideation, which is really the perfect example of our approach and mantra.”
