HOW 6 MEN GOT ON IN THE WORLD
BASED ON THE BROTHERS GRIMM fable How Six Men Got on in the World, this project reimagines the story as a cinematic title sequence. It follows a soldier returning from battle who, on his journey toward marrying a princess, encounters five men with extraordinary abilities that help him overcome various challenges. Framed as a coming-of-age adventure, the narrative highlights the importance of friendship.
Goal: Pick a story from the Brothers Grimm to turn into a movie title sequence through your knowledge of motion and animation.
How Six Men Got on in the World is a story of a soldier returning from battle and being rewarded with marrying the princess. On his journey to the castle, he meets five men, each with their own special talent, who help him overcome the challenges. My take on the film is that it would be an indie, collage-style coming-of-age adventure that focuses more on the friendships than
on the romance.
Inspired by
the Greats
Inspired by the adventurous spirit and playful storytelling of The Goonies, the nostalgic energy and ensemble dynamics of Stranger Things, and the imaginative, unpredictable world-building of Jumanji, this title sequence channels a sense of curiosity, camaraderie, and discovery. I wanted to capture that feeling of being pulled into a larger-than-life journey, where each character brings a distinct strength and personality to the adventure. Through layered visuals and a collage-inspired style, the sequence reflects both the individuality of the six men and the chaotic, exciting world they move through together.
