The directors approached the opening title like a live-action film title project. The character's free-fall from the office suite captures the essence of the show—that of a character whose demeanor belies his inner turmoil. The fall is abruptly cut short by his composed, reclining pose. The closing image of the title sequence became the branding device for the show, as well as the image for print advertising and key art.
