“We developed the idea of vibranium sand not only for Marvel Studios’s film Black Panther but also for the concept for the main-on-end title sequence, utilizing it due to the importance of its existence within Wakanda. The team used a wide range of techniques to generate the sand seen throughout the sequence, from Cinema 4D and X-Particles to Houdini. Each scene needed to feel as though it was sculpted from millions of grains of vibranium sand. We also embraced the technological construct of acoustic levitation by having various forms and images pulse to the beat of Kendrick Lamar’s soundscape, giving each frame depth and emotion. Various specific colors throughout the titles signify different characters and personalities.”
