Wolfe

Wolfe is a darkly comic British crime drama following Professor Wolfe Kinteh, a gifted forensic scientist whose bipolar disorder fuels his ability to solve complex murders. The series plays with tone, balancing psychological insight and sharp humour, and needed a title sequence that felt as bold and unconventional as its lead.

Forensic dramas often fall into predictable visual language. From the pitch stage, I set out to challenge that. My concept focused on the ‘flight of ideas’ associated with mania, allowing images, clues and associations to collide in unexpected ways. I developed written scenes and visual treatments that pushed for a surreal, kinetic world. The team shot experimental live action using props from the show and I art directed hallucinatory CGI moments to add surprise and scale.

Working through to final delivery with the team at Peter Anderson Studio, I built the sequence to keep audiences off balance while staying true to the show’s dark humour. The result is a vivid, modern and slightly anarchic journey through Wolfe’s mind, anchored by a bold colour palette and full screen credits that reflect his maverick nature.
