Entergalactic
Netflix Series Featurette Promo
Challenge
To support the release of Entergalactic, a visually bold animated series from Kid Cudi, Netflix needed creative content that could extend the tone and spirit of the show beyond the screen. The piece needed to resonate with fans, highlight key talent, and carry the stylistic thread of the series into the broader campaign.
Solution
In collaboration with Netflix and The Refinery, Evolution produced a studio shoot designed to capture the essence of the series. With just one day to build, light, film, and strike the set, we crafted a vibrant environment inspired by creative spaces like artist lofts. Interviews with Kid Cudi, Vanessa Hudgens, Laura Harrier, and the show’s creators were conducted using staggered setups and subtle camera movements to maintain a cinematic flow. Our team worked closely with Netflix to ensure the visual approach aligned seamlessly with the show’s aesthetic and campaign objectives.
Result
The featurette premiered on Netflix’s platform, YouTube, and other digital channels as a central component of the Entergalactic launch. It provided audiences with deeper insight into the creative process behind the series, enhancing engagement and extending the show’s reach. The special received critical acclaim for its animation, visual style, music, and storytelling, earning nominations at the Annie Awards and the NAACP Image Awards.
