Acceptable Risk - opening credits

ACCEPTABLE RISK
Creative direction - Film direction
Directed by Christian Langlois this opening credits sequence is for Acceptable Risk a series for RTÉ One (Irish public television) distributed by international SundanceTV channel.  A international co-production from Ireland and Canada independent producers, based on an Irish real story. This drama series is about the risk for everyone working for big corporation industry. What we are ready to accept for a good career, great income and wealthy life. What is our own ethic ? When we cross the line? 

The main title sequence has built to create a paranoid mood where we have developed a smart line system to introduce the title. Thin and slick horizontal lines create and structure the frames. Separate the sky from the ground, the good from the mad. Line as a symbol of the Liffey river splitting Dublin in 2 zones: poor and rich. A symbol of the expression crossing line, ethical limits that are not allowed to be crossed. A symbol of broken line as a big life reset. A symbol of the water line where the death is coming. The diagonal line is suicidal chess move, a quest for truth. This line system is more than a graphic vector, a graphic connector, more over a great symbolic emulator. 

Directed by Christian Langlois these images were shot in location in Dublin and in Montreal by Tim Fleming, ISC (Luther, Gladiator) with Arry Alexa camera 4k. A fine color grading, motion design and type animation was done by computer artists from Fly studio.(Arrival, Mister Nobody)  The music was composed by Michel Corriveau (Versailles)
