Studio AKA Director Marcus Armitage turns simple chalk drawings into an action-packed adventure for the main titles of Disney Plus’ animated anthology mini-series, Eyes of Wakanda.
Returning to the world of Black Panther in the mystical land of Wakanda, Armitage escorts his warriors through time and space as they battle to protect Wakanda’s most valuable resource, Vibranium. Black Panther even makes a special appearance.

“Employing a minimalist 2D hand-drawn technique with white chalk against a black backdrop, the sequence emanates edginess while upholding its cinematic quality. The inclusion of select 3D elements, such as bits of white chalk flying during impactful moments, adds depth to the traditional style,” writes Studio AKA on its website.
“The title takes viewers on a journey through time and space. Each transition is designed to seamlessly transport viewers through camera movements and optical illusions, fostering complete immersion in the narrative and amplifying focus on the warriors and their noble quest.”
The title sequence is set to a score by composer Hesham Nazih.
Marvel Studios’ Eyes of Wakanda premiered August 1 on Disney Plus.
