Despite ever-changing advances in modern technology, time travel still isn’t plausible; so we would have to use our imagination in building out the narrative aspects of the film to show viewers how different moments of Oppenheimer’s life may have played out. We began by researching the time, place, and people involved in each scenario to make the narratives feel as authentic as possible. Understanding complex concepts of physics, like atomic energy and nuclear fission, is integral to Oppenheimer’s story. We needed to create simplified visual representations that could explain such esoteric information in an engaging way while maintaining visual cohesion with the narrative aspect of the film. We were also responsible for the title treatment that would conclude the documentary’s cold open intro. Knowing that the edit for this cold open would end in an explosive finish, we needed to create a title treatment with design and animation that matched the energy of the edit.
