The last entry into the Planet of the Apes’ Caesar story arc was at its core a classically structured war movie. In order to forefront the elements of human / ape conflict that had been building in the series, I conceived of and shot a stark intro sequence for 20th Century Fox’s home entertainment release on UHD/Blu-ray/DVD/iTunes. 

The menus begin on a white field - a nod to the snowy environs in this final chapter - and are immediately punctuated by bursts of red. Silhouettes of the Andy Serkis character are revealed in this brief sequence, timed to the beats in Michael Giacchino’s score.
