One Flew Over The Cuckoos NestTitle Sequence | 3D Motion
Cinema 4D, After Effects, Premiere ProA modern take on a title sequence for the 70s film One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest. Our main character Randall McMurphy brings his rebellious nature to the mental hospital. He does not belong there but has faked mental illness in hopes that the mental ward will be a peaceful respite from prison, under the impression that he can leave whenever he likes. The longer he stays the more he sinks into insanity as he learns that the nurses are keeping him there indefinitely. The sequence uses a disillusion, comparing an ocean to a toy pool. The ocean is vast, free, and open. This reality shift to a toy pool symbolizes this sense of suffocation and entrapment that the mental hospital has. The use of depth of field and blurriness represents McMurphys slow descent into madness, seeing things less clear.
