The Way Back
Motion Design II
Tasked to create a title sequence of a ficticious movie.
Aarin spends every day waiting for the moment he can go to sleep and enter his dream world, a place with no responsibilities and no fatigue of his real life. One night when Aarin realizes that he isn’t waking up, he is finally excited to escape his waking life forever. Over time as he is visited by people and things from his real life, he realizes he needs to find the way back to the things he loves.

I created mood boards and style frames before creating the rough cut video and then the final.
I decided on a dark blue monotone color palette, with the main focus in yellow. The yellow is the light in the dark, the real life getting through to the dream.
The textures used as the backgrounds and to form the shapes are very fine and abstract, adding to the sense of fuzziness and unease of being in a dream, or a nightmare.
