GR5 tells the story of a group of young adults, hiking the 'Grand Route N°5', from the Netherlands, all the way down to Nice, France, 5 years after they lost every contact with a dear friend, walking that very same route.

After meeting with the creative team behind GR5, showrunner Serge Bierset and director Jan Matthys, it was quite clear they were looking for us to create an opening credit design based on those typical visual language, you can find on topographic maps. We created some internal explorations for the piece, but one solution (our favorite) was unanimously approved by our client. Using the topographic idea as a starting point, we shaped a maquette-like world made of white cardboard, highlighting some of the series more important (or visually more interesting) locations. This was a particularly challenging project for us as it was our first fully CG animated piece in photorealistic 3D.
