The Leftovers - Show Open

Garson Yu

Acknowledging the spiritual dimensions of the show's premise, the approach was to depict the event in the visual language of the great Renaissance frescoes. An original fresco of great emotional depth was created to depict the Rapture. This tableau was further enhanced by introducing subtle animations that brought the images to life and reinforced their humanity. The whole piece was mapped onto a dimensional domed ceiling which is revealed in full at the culmination of the sequence.
