An EPIC JOURNEY

The crew of the Nathan James is back in the fourth season of The Last Ship. We designed the key art to mirror the duality of the plot as the ship sails through Mediterranean waters in search of a viral cure and Captain Chandler pursues his own Odyssey-inspired journey of self-reflection on land.

The photography was composited together with digital paint to show the softer themes of the season, contrasting the cooler colors of the roiling ocean with the warm sunshine of Greece as Chandler turns his back on the ship to face land.

ODYSSEY EXTRAS

For The Last Ship’s bonus content, we went behind the scenes with TNT as they discussed the parallels that Season 4 shares with Homer’s Odyssey. They asked for graphics that were Navy-inspired and technology driven but tied to the content of series and the overall look and feel.

SILENT HEROES

The Librarians face a new threat as a group of villains known as the "Dark Army" seeks to destroy magic and take over the world. The team must use their unique skills and knowledge to stop the Dark Army and protect the balance of power between good and evil.

The trailer for Season 2 of the Librarians features comic-inspired graphics that show magical creatures and supernatural settings that transport viewers to a world beyond our own. The librarians themselves are depicted in dramatic poses, brandishing weapons and using their unique skills to battle the forces of evil. High energy explosions, magical energy blasts, and intricate spell-casting sequences serve to capture the excitement and adventure of the show, enticing viewers to tune in and join the Librarians on their next thrilling quest.

In the aftermath of the alien invasion, Falling Skies’ survivors are losing hope. "Skitters" and "Mechs" are highly advanced and technologically superior to humans, making their takeover swift and devastating. The remaining humans, living in a makeshift camp in the ruins of Boston, face not only the constant threat of alien attacks but also struggles with disease, starvation, and internal conflicts.

For the promo graphics, the mood is somber and the color palette is limited. Monsters and humans alike are coming apart, melting into the ether.
