Kundhardt Foundation x Apple TV+

Jan 2025

This animated sequence from Lincoln's Dilemma, a collaboration between the Kundhardt Foundation and Apple TV+, utilizes a stark, monochrome aesthetic to explore historical narratives. Directed by Steve Small and produced by Studio AKA and Kundhardt Films, the work integrates animation with live-action techniques to build a dramatic, atmospheric environment. The project leans into charcoal illustrations and deep, high-contrast lighting to define its visual identity. By focusing on evocative, detailed compositions—ranging from silhouetted figures against fog-laden horizons to intricate water reflections—the sequence establishes a deliberate, serious tone.
