Ultraman Rising | Main Titles & Main On Ends

July 2023 - December 2023

Having created the opening titles on Director Shannon Tindle’s previous project Lost Ollie, KOJO was approached to create the opening titles and end credits on Ultraman: Rising. Led by Design Director Sam Clarke and Motion Design Director Jack Prenc, the KOJO teams collaborated with Tindle, Co-Director John Aoshima and the team from Feature Animation at Netflix to develop the creative narrative and craft the title designs

Jack's role in the film was to direct the Main Titles and Main On Ends. Jack worked closely with the film's directors Shannon Tindle and John Aroshima to reimagine the 1960s swirling titles to life with the tools of our time.

“The 1967 titles were a testament to the tools of their time, and our approach was to build a title that paid homage to the original, while bringing them into the new era, using the technology of our time.” Said the Motion Design Director Jack Prenc.

Finally, the Main On Ends was designed to highlight some of the film’s more emotive moments and was a creative collaboration between KOJO’s motion team and the film’s Art Director Sunmin Inn. Sunmins’ beautiful illustrations were brought to life through the expressive color palette and subtle parallax motion, which helped convey the connection and relationships between the characters, and the overarching theme of balance and family present throughout the film.

Creative Approach
the Main On Ends were designed to highlight some of the film’s more emotive moments and were a creative collaboration between KOJO’s motion team and the film’s Art Director Sunmin Inn. Sunmin’s beautiful illustrations were brought to life through subtle parallax motion, the movement paired with the expressive colour palette, which really helped convey the connection and relationships between the characters, through the overall theme of balance and family.
