El Don
Click to Watch
Who envisions a throat slit crescentic to a curving world, all its ephemera owned by one of the most famous cocaine dealers in Latin America?
Smog’s Moises Arancibia, spoke with Art of the Title; “‘El Don,’ is a television series inspired by the life of notorious Chilean gangster known as ‘El Cabro Carrera.’ The creation of the title sequence required a marked visual identity for the series; we took cutthroat cues from the wild west and James Bond and the entire project took us three weeks.”
Cutthroat indeed. Blood flows, drips, is fired from gun (in one example the splatter is wonderfully conceptualized as an entry wound), saturates sultry backdrops, is squeezed from a handshake and seeps from a not quite dead body before it explodes and finally, blood blots the frame.

Fantastic!
This is great, inspiring stuff. I like the mix of techniques, that is just there for the end result. Great!
I really like how everything flows together from one element to another. Does anyone know of a good tutorial that shows how to animate Illustrator designs in After Effects like this?
