For Amazon Prime’s “Make Me Scream”, I designed and animated the show’s opening title sequence and on-air graphics package, collaborating with the team at MGM to develop a visual identity that captured the show’s chaotic blend of comedy and horror. The creative direction embraced a raw, distressed aesthetic inspired by the "the essence of fear" faced by the contestants, combining gritty textures, frenetic motion, and unsettling visuals to evoke the feeling of fear and unpredictability. To build an authentic design system, I shot custom graphic elements in-house at Syndrome Studio and went on location to shoot performances from the show’s monsters and the immersive haunted sets. Integrating this original footage throughout the package allowed the graphics to feel connected to the show's world, resulting in a high-energy visual experience that amplified the tension, humor, and spectacle of the series.
