Oz the Great and Powerful

•

While we were brainstorming for the concept of main on end titles of the movie, the writer Edwin Baker came up with the idea of using Phenakistoscope , which was one of the actual tools of the wizard. So we wanted to introduce the characters and some specific moments through phenakistoscope discs. For the best experience for this specific concept I wanted use traditional/cel animation method even for the logo. So we illustrated every individual frame to create the entire animation. Since the movie was 3D/stereoscopic, I used a lot of depth, and created one continuous tunnel of phenakistoscope.
