DUNE
Design, Illustration, Animation
I've always had a place in my heart for filmmaking. So when I found an avenue to exercise my design skills with the moving image, I jumped right into it gleefully. And what better way to do it then through an alternate title sequence for Dune?
The inspiration came from Dune's various book covers that have existed since its publication in 1965. Psychedelic and mystical.
The music is a nod to director Alejandro Jodorowsky's unsuccessful attempt at making a film adaptation in the mid-70s. The lyrics of Pink Floyd's "Eclipse" encompass the grand scale of Dune's story.
The trailer for Dune 2021 has a cover of the song (used in my title sequence) created by Hans Zimmer, the films composer, as a nod to Jodorowsky's Dune.

The first round of styleframes. I used Saul Bass as a starting point for the bold colors. A grain texture was added later to tie it in with sand. It also offers a greater visual impact to play off of the music. Some scenes had to be cut entirely or trimmed for time limitations.
