Amid the violence of the independence referendum in their home region of Catalonia, Spanish motion studio Tigrelab sent us this piece of calm and beauty inspired by the topography of Barcelona, the Catalan capital.

Federico Gonzalez at Tigrelab: “This is the opening title sequence for the Catalan Tv Chanel (TV3) series “Com si Fos Ahir.” We conceived it as a metaphor of the main characters’ history in Barcelona.

“We played with the particular urban plan of Barcelona and its Eixample quarter pattern. If you look further, the game represents different roles spinning around as marbles within miniature neighborhood blocks, it is an interpretation of the Probability Tree.”
