Gritty work from Digital Kitchen:

Digital Kitchen’s goal in developing a title sequence for Narcos was to focus on capturing a moment in time in the efforts to apprehend one of the most infamous drug lords in history, Pablo Escobar. Extensively researched and developed, the main title incorporates live-action footage shot on location in Colombia and Los Angeles with extensive archival imagery, including photography and video from the vaults of Escobar’s personal photographer “El Chino.”

The vibrancy of the colors used were reflective of the lavish excesses of the time and the natural beauty of Colombia.
