Opening title sequence, chapter intertitles, and end card for
@thesweeteast !
Created close to 80 individual cards, all custom drawn by hand then photographed on 16mm with a 40-year old Oxberry Animation Stand. We looked at a ton of different references from the posters of Borowczyk, the typography of the Declaration of Independence and the intertitles of D.W. Griffith to land on this visual direction. The end result is an assembly of unexpected imperfections that I believe accurately represents the practical effects and rawness of the film.
Am not going to post the full sequence but swipe to see a small portion of the long process we went through. Go see
