OVERVIEW

Description

Design development focused on creating a foreboding,tech-driven aesthetic in keeping with the film’s sinister subject matter; involving international cyber-espionage,

leaked military secrets, and the “cult-of-personality”.

Execution

To visualize the spread of information in the digital age, an inter-connected structure of pixels serves as a backdrop; framing imagery that reveals over time, and from certain angles of view, to then shift and transform into a new set of content. A 3D construct of our main protagonist’s skull and

facial-features forms throughout the sequence, highlighting the “cult-of-personality” concept; with the duplicity in the final reveal representing the two sides of the film’s unfolding drama.

Outcome

Premiered at Sundance Film Festival January 2013.
