UI Design and Motion Graphics

With the film taking place mainly in Paris, I decided it would be appropriate for this menuset to take its cue from minimalist “euro” design, adding to it the tense and gritty tone of the film, both in styling and editing choices. It consists of cuts, flashes, and freeze frames at intense moments that give clues as to the movie’s plot. The plot I’m referring to was pretty well summarized by the film’s promotional materials, which prominently featured a variation of this quote: “I don’t know who you are, but if you don’t let my daughter go, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.” When Liam Neeson talks, you better listen. I adapted this design for both DVD and Bluray, designing and animating/editing the motion background, creating the popup/UI design for Bluray, and designing subpages for DVD.
