SHINE Crushes It Again with Main Title Sequence For “Power Book III: Raising Kanan”

Client fave SHINE drops new design work with the main title sequence for Power: Book III: Raising Kanan for Starz, Lionsgate and G-Unit. Shine designed and produced a kaleidoscopic main title sequence for Starz’ new series, Power Book III: Raising Kanan.  Original live action footage shot by Shine was integrated with graphic imagery to create a collage that introduces the prequel to Power.

Set in South Jamaica, Queens, in 1991, the sprawling family drama revolves around the coming-of-age of Kanan Stark (Mekai Curtis) — Ghost and Tommy’s mentor, partner, and adversary, who dies in a hail of gunfire in Power’s final season.  In the prequel series, Kanan is the 15-year-old only child of Raquel “Raq” Thomas (Patina Miller), a cocaine distributor with an emerging network of dealers around the city.

Like its predecessors, Power and Power Book II: Ghost, Raising Kanan explores themes of identity, violence, loyalty, and legacy. It’s also a deep dive into the pathology of family: the nuanced but unique dynamic between parent and child, mother and father, and brother and sister.
