  • Art Direction
  • CGI / Animation
  • Film

The series is set in a labyrinth of abandoned service tunnels below Temple Underground station, Daniel Milton (Mark Strong), a highly respected surgeon, runs an illegal medical clinic that treats criminals and other desperate patients who cannot or will not seek help from regular medical facilities. The plot focuses on the secrecy, exits and issues of trust as the clinic treats its patients as well as Daniel’s need for money to fund his ongoing research.

Playing with the visual narrative of descent, the opening sequence follows the protagonist (Daniel Milton) as he travels deeper and deeper into a dark and unexpected underworld. The aperture of an elevator gate was employed as a central device, through which we reveal a vertical sequence of vignettes and situations taken from the series. A combination of CG and live action, the sequence was conceived, designed and produced at HS for Hera Pictures.

Score by Matthew Herbert.
