To End All War: Oppenheimer and The Atomic Bomb
NBC News Studios
We crafted a contemporary style inspired by the time period and imperfections of aged film to seamlessly weaves between the film's interviews, archived footage, and photography.
The Result
The science animations called for an understanding of atomic and nuclear physics. Each narrative required research on time, place, and the people involved. The art direction needed to complement a wide range of media spanning over a century.

The Request
Narrative Sequences
The animated narrative sequences serve to delve into Oppenheimer's humanity and provide context where archival footage is lacking.
Production Process
To bring the surreal and tactile narrative sequence to life, we utilized a variety of assets and applications during the animation process.
Title Treatment
The title treatment punctuates the mixed media cold open and sets up the documentary’s pre-bomb era beginning with a reverse explosion.
Film Noir Exploration
A combination of contemporary graphic novels and film noir established this directions foundation. We envisioned presenting historical figures as silhouettes revealed by shifts in light source.
