Movie-me
Concept, art direction and execution.
Movie-me is a personal project dedicated to movies that have had a profound influence on me. It aims to deliver an emotional immersive experience to those who view it.
The project is divided in a series of animations focusing on typography manipulation and a series of posters that depict movies through colours and shapes.
The typography visuals focus on 3D manipulation and animation. The movement and the reflection of the animations aim to provoke and inspire the viewers.
For the posters, each instance of colour represents one frame of a scene. The intensity and space that each colour occupies corresponds to the impact of that particular scene on my senses and emotions. There are three blocks of visual ouputs made of nine movies each: in the first series, the frame colours are shown horizontally, from top to bottom; in the second series, the frame colours reflect a more emotional visual, like spots of memories; in the third series, there are only two prominent colours and shapes or letters. The last series is also the most intimate one. The collection has no chronological order. It follows my internal rhythm and recollection; it’s more of a Proustian flux.
The poster as a whole reveals the movie plot through the emotions that each frame radiates. Our individual visual experience is, of course, personal. So every viewer is invited to see a different moment, and experience a different emotion. The goal is to offer the viewer intimate moments of my experience with these movies, and for them to experience the same movie in their own personal way, according to their world view.
The collection is being shared on social media as it grows and evolve onto a more immersive experience.
Movie-me #1 Close encounters of the third kind, Steven Spielberg, 1977
It’s my first memory of a Sci-Fi movie that triggered a love for it, as well as for colours and sounds as emotional channels.
Movie-me #10 Blade runner 2049, Denis Villeneuve, 2017.
There’s something unfathomable and magnificent in Denis Villeneuve work.
Movie-me #19 Lost in translation, Sofia Coppola, 2003. Love has many forms, shapes and intricate paths.
