good cop/bad cop - title card animation
We teamed up with creator John Quaintance and illustrator Sam Larson to animate a set of 8 title cards for the series Good Cop Bad Cop. Each card was designed to look like a still—classic, bold, and static at first glance—but with a clever twist: a subtle, unexpected movement right at the end that brings each one to life.
Our mission? Minimal animation, maximum impact. The result is a set of opening cards that feel simple and polished at first… until a turn, a flicker, or a perfectly timed motion moment surprises you (and makes you look twice).
Watch the compilation below for the full set, or check out each card individually over on Vimeo.
