Concept and creative process
The sequence is a painterly, fragmented portrait of John Luther. It follows the character through the night, crossing the lines between madness and stability. The lines intersect and splice the typography like razor wire. They are almost web like, trapping him. Nic Benns & Miki Kato painted 20 scenes before compositing and animating them in After Effects with production images of Idris Elba. The credits are also hand made - imperfect, stamped lettering.
