Wolf 359 Title Sequence

Wolf 359 is a sci-fi audio drama podcast inspired by radio dramas of the 1920s-1950s. This design imagines a title sequence for a hypothetical TV series adaptation of the podcast by Kinda Evil Productions and Gabriel Urbina.

The series follows Doug Eiffel, the communications officer among the small crew aboard the U.S.S. Hephaestus— orbiting the star Wolf 359 on a scientific survey for roughly a year and a half at the beginning of the series. Though the series begins lighthearted akin to a slice of life series, it later evolves to be much more high-stakes, with the crew eventually making several contacts with alien life.

Discussion of the design process below will include relevant story information from the podcast as it was considered, including potential plot twists and story details. In other words: spoilers ahead!
