Goldie

2019 • AgX, Vice Films
Main Title Sequence / Animated Sequences
Directed by Sam de Jong

For Sam de Jong’s vibrant feature Goldie, we created the main title sequence and a series of animated vignettes that appear throughout the film—layered over live action to reflect the title character’s inner world.

Set in the Bronx and pulsing with youthful energy, the film uses animation as a visual extension of Goldie’s imagination. Our hand-drawn overlays, animated wipes, and kaleidoscopic inserts help capture the story’s emotional intensity and playful perspective.

“The iridescent color and energy literally pop off the screen in the squiggly animation (by Gareth Smith and Jenny Lee) that envelops the title character and punctuates the visuals with inventive wipes, washes, graphics and inserts.”

- David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

“With the animations of Smith & Lee, the director paints the innocent viewpoint of Goldie onto the screen, making the vigorous, multicolored graphics an essential part of the kaleidoscopic experience.”
