AlphaGo
AlphaGo is a documentary that captures the story of the first computer program to defeat a professional human Go player. For this concept title sequence, I wanted the environment to be ambiguous, allowing the spotlight to shine on the objects themselves and evoke a sense of intrigue.

As I started my concept development, I brainstormed various symbolic representations to portray humanity and AI in this specific context. Some ideas were the blending of the monitor and board as well as the eventual omission of the left chair, signifying that it wasn't necessary in the face of an intangible opponent.
To pay homage to the documentary's featured player, Lee Sedol, I envisioned incorporating an element that would capture his essence: a cigarette, representing the significance of his smoke breaks during the intense games.
