01
Problem
The popular Danish TV political drama series, "Borgen", returned for its fourth season after a 9-year hiatus. The new season, a collaboration between DR Drama, SAM Productions, and Netflix, brought changes to themes, settings, and characters. SAM Productions sought a new title sequence that reflected the season's themes and setting, had a distinct look, and made viewers excited. To solve this problem, they reached out to Benny Box.
02
Solution
The sequence features fractured icebergs against dark oceans, symbolizing character conflicts and Birgitte Nyborg's power struggles. The juxtaposition of culture and nature is achieved through ice, paper, and time-lapse visuals, delivering a powerful message.
03
Role
I contributed to concept development and creation of the style frames. Additionally, I designed the assets used in the sequence, including the papers and icebergs.
