The Son was one of the more visually experimental title sequence projects I worked on as an Art Director at Elastic. Rather than focusing on literal scenes from the series, our goal was to create a symbolic visual language that explored the themes at the heart of the story: legacy, power, violence, inheritance, and the mythology of the American West.

These keyframes combine western iconography with expressive textures, layered imagery, and abstract compositions inspired by fine art, printmaking, and mixed-media collage. Horses, trains, longhorn skulls, and frontier landscapes appear throughout the designs, not as historical illustrations, but as symbols representing the forces that shaped generations of a family and the nation around them.
