The White Lotus SEASON THREE
Main Title Sequence
SUFFERING IN PARADISE
Privilege, pleasure and pain reach their tipping point and detonate under a heat lamp of Thai luxury.
We returned again to work with Mike White in opening the gates to The White Lotus. Seven ornately painted murals hold stories when discovered in detail. Deep jungles, villages, temples, steaming lagoons, epic battles, and disasters-at-sea hold potential themes and character profiles. The line between enlightenment and instinct, between man and animal, coils ever tighter.
THE PROCESS
Across months in the making, we played equal parts documentarian, art restorer, technician and magician . Thousands of photos were captured, then meticulously recombined and woven into seven distinct worlds, holding character profiles and storylines. Nature and architecture cast moving shadows, and subtle 3D shifts signal that nothing here is on solid footing.
A sincere thank you to Hatis Noit, Phaendin, and Lair for the music!
