The mission in this exciting action thriller was to create all the screen motion graphics for the Mi6 and the villains devices. The director's vision was to have a fairly old style, reminiscent of the 80´s and 90´s technology, in the general tint of the film, blue and orange. We went for a very square and orthogonal set up, with simple layouts that would tell the story in a clear and concise way, have slightly old school technology looking graphics and avoid any angular or dynamic angles or animation that would go against the desired style. ​

​

The process was to create concepts in photoshop, then the concept team and I would create the layouts in Illustrator, which would be imported into After Effects to create all the animation and include the 3d assets. My mission was to art direct the pieces and create concepts, illustrator layouts, coordinate the 2d, 3d and AE animation team, and compositing 3d animations to help bring to the screen all the information needed in the best way possible.
