The Rings of Power SEASON TWO
Main Title Sequence

THE CRAFTING OF THE RINGS & THE RISE OF EVIL

We returned to working with show creators J.D. Payne, Patrick McKay, and Lindsay Weber to evolve and craft an all new title for Season 2.

For this season, the sequence reveals the birth of nineteen rings and the rise of Sauron. Forges flow, evil tendrils creep, and constellations hold imagery of mythical gates, corrupted sigils, and the Balrog… among many other stories that unfold in the writhing sand.

We evolved the new scenes from the original visual foundation of cymatics, a natural phenomenon that makes sound visible to the eye - inspired by J.R.R Tolkien’s “Ainur”, whose music created the Tolkien universe.
