SHINE creates "GENIUS" main titles for Ron Howard + NatGeo
SHINE designed, edited and animated the main title sequence for GENIUS, a biopic event series about Albert Einstein. The concept SHINE employed used three-dimensional textures of particles that generated imagery inspired by Einstein’s life and work.
GENIUS is NatGeo’s first-ever scripted series, based on the Walter Isaacson book Einstein: His Life and Universe and executive produced by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, with Howard also directing the first episode. The all-star cast includes Geoffrey Rush as Professor Einstein, Johnny Flynn as Albert in his youth and Emily Watson as the scientist’s second wife — and first cousin — Elsa Einstein. Over 10 episodes, the series takes Einstein’s story beyond the halls of academia to explore his struggles to be a good husband and father, and a man of principle during a period of global unrest. His daringly creative mind often landed him in trouble with his loved ones and peers, but also helped him to usher in ground breaking discoveries that reshaped modern science.
