Animated title sequence for a documentary about troubled teenagers

The documentary "228 Part 1" tells the story of teenagers who received real or suspended sentences for illegally acquiring, storing, transporting, manufacturing or processing drugs. The film mainly explores the psychological side of the problem: how teenagers decide to break the law, who pushes them into it, how they become part of this system and what responsibility they bear.

Of course, the film aims to warn viewers against unlawful actions and to show the consequences of work that promises easy money. Our studio's task was to develop a striking visual sequence that would reveal the film's subject as deeply and accurately as possible. We made the title sequence in 2D: we drew the characters, animated them in cut-out style, and then moved on to effects and editing, which mattered a great deal here. We wanted to show the contrast between a bright, carefree childhood and the sudden darkness — when you literally take a wrong turn.

The film was released on the VK platform in 2025.
