PROCESS
Photographs of a box were used for the development of the visuals for the Main-on-End. Since the main character was going through a phase where she was feeling trapped by her own emotions I focused on the edges of a wooden box to encapsulate the feeling of being on the edge.
Other elements used were kaleidoscopic lens placed against bright color surfaces and close up of the electrical lights inside of electronics, that after being composited in After Effects will create this illusion of mental confusion and dissociation of the current reality.
2019 STYLE FRAMES
2020 UPDATEd style frames.
After some reviews and few changes and additions on her crew, we decided to give it revisit. The initial version needed to be synchronized to a score, on this updated version synchronization was not necessary for the designing of the new frames that were composited on After Effects, using the previous footage, and compress it to give the illusion of uncertainty and murkiness. On this version we changed the type to be center in comparison to be flushed left since each name needed to be on a single title card.
