FX Networks | Pistol

 

Our friends at FX asked us to be a part of the rock & roll revolution that is Pistol. The team got their hands dirty to craft a graphics package  for the series that authentically captures this distinct moment in history.

We stepped away from the screens and got back to analog mode. By distressing photographs, ripping tees, spilling ink, and totally destroying pretty much anything, we achieved an authentic visual language.

Plastering chaotic collages into the 3D scenes, and filling the actors bodies with grungy textures, we created an immersive environment that pulls the viewer deeper into the anarchic world of PISTOL.
