Moon, another throwback to Trailer Park, and the days of DVD and Bluray, before streaming became the norm. Starring Sam Rockwell, this 2009 scifi film flew under the radar at the time but has gone on to develop a bit a cult following.

For this home entertainment experience, I played off the system of pod bay doors seen in the film (which in turn, appear to be highly inspired by the interiors of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001, much like its HAL-like sentient robot, GERTY, and several other elements). These hatch doors serve as windows into different scenes, into views of the surrounding moonscape, and metaphorically, into the character’s deteriorating psychological state (deep, right?). The motion is set in a room of pod bays (which I created in 3D space in After Effects). The camera swings among the various views, pausing to focus at times, and at times zooming in, jumping into a given scene. I carried over the aesthetic I developed in the motion background across the UI design for Bluray, and the static design for DVD.
