Imaginary Forces Captures The Way How Society Clings Onto The Humanity

Watch this cinematic title sequence on Apple TV+ for a story that hits very close to home. The slow-moving mist creates a tense feeling, obscuring everything in the frame. Its thickness looms in the air as it reveals and hides things.

Letters of the title are composed in scenes to give a foreboding effect creating a sense of dread that is hovering over empty cities all over the world from New York to Tokyo to London. When there are people, they are alone. The sequence is an eerie and daunting environment capturing the ways society is clinging onto humanity.

An eclipsed sun hangs above a dark city street lined with tall buildings and signs.
A lone figure stands in a dusty golden landscape beneath a huge angular shadow.
A silhouetted figure raises one arm on a foggy nighttime bridge beneath streetlights.
Cars sit on a road crossing a snowy landscape, seen directly from above.
Dark clouds and a massive angular shadow loom above a city and winding river.
The word Invasion stretches across a cloudy skyline, with an eclipsed sun replacing one letter.
