sun & wave

Here's the latest poster/cover design for Hangs Upon Nothing.  I made this for the latest film fest submission I sent out yesterday.  This one really reminds me of Apocalypse Now.  I love some of the poster designs for the movie.  And I'd call that film one of the influences on this project.  I've only seen it once, but it made a strong impression on me.  There's some imagery in that movie you just can't forget.

I think I'll likely explore a lot more designs in this realm.  I love how free it feels, and how the quick spontaneous brush strokes feel to me a lot like an actual wave in motion.  I also like the simplicity of this design, and how the colors match the trailer cover image with Mikala in the barrel.

If you dig this project, you can keep up to date through the film's fb page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hangs-Upon-Nothing-a-16mm-surf-film/246361802068338

Got the rough idea for this poster design right before I was ready to go to sleep at a reasonable hour a few nights ago.  I decided to jot down a few quick sketch notes on this big piece of newsprint so that by morning I hadn't forgotten about it.  I ended up staying up all night drawing and painting this up.

The brushstrokes of color at the upper left and some other random ones throughout the design were there before I even started drawing.  I had used this piece of newsprint as a table cover when I painted up the dvd case that's in the previous post.  I was using the newsprint to test out my brush as I painted.  I dig those random brush strokes and how they work with this design.

I'm finally getting around to starting on animation of this wave tonight. Well, this is the wave sketch it's going to be based on, though probably it will go in the opposite direction. Going to animate on paper, with brush and ink, good messy fun. If this turns out good, it's going to be an intro animation for Little Sea Films. Hang in there, the new trailer is on the way!!! Thanks for stopping by and checkin out this project.
