DESIGN COMMUNITY
Shine designed and animated the main title sequence for “Dickinson”, an American period black comedy series about Emily Dickinson, created by Alena Smith for Apple TV+.
The “Dickinson” production team at Apple donated props, costumes, and other visual materials to the Emily Dickinson Collection at Harvard’s Houghton Library. Also included are all thirty main title sequence design storyboards, bound into hardcover books.
The main title idea uses a collage of illustrations and etchings that visually represent Emily Dickinson’s life, relationships and work. Shine delivered thirty unique animated main title sequences, one short custom sequence for each episode.
The Emily Dickinson Collection at Harvard's Houghton Library houses an extensive array of materials related to the iconic American poet. It includes manuscripts of her poems and letters, many of which are in her own handwriting. The collection also features first editions of her published works, photographs, and personal artifacts. Additionally, it contains critical and biographical studies about Dickinson, offering scholars and enthusiasts deep insights into her life and creative process. This comprehensive archive is a vital resource for understanding the depth and breadth of Dickinson's contributions to literature and provides an intimate glimpse into her secluded yet profoundly influential life.
