• Moving graphic design - End Credits

    Educated as a graphic designer, i know that end credits of movies do not get the attention they deserve. As a film buff, I hate it when people even do as much as whisper during the beginning titles but i lost hope for the end credits. A good film has great titles, until the very end! Now I would not say my animated short ‘Deep Shit’ is a ‘good’ movie, but the end credits are perhaps the best part of it. The theme music, that was played incorrectly by the punk band at the start of the movie, now in it’s perfect glam style, (listen to that bass! i am proud of that!) but mostly: look at those titles!

    So I posted the stills here – all of them are worth a good look. Some pictures are inspired by real life – like the devil lying on the floor, that drawing is inspired by a photo I took of my friend Rosto when he produced (or tried to) my punk band Disaster Nein. The film itself has references to Café ‘De Diepte’ that I used to frequent and of course to Maloe Melo and the squat Occii. If you’re not from Amsterdam these names don’t say much, but for connoisseurs of the Dutch metropolitan underground it does.

    You can see the film here – the titles start at 9.16

     

  • Logo - Holy Door

    ‘Holy Door’ is the name of the record company in my animated short ‘Deep Shit’. It needed a logo for their flyer, in which they invite bands to not bore them for a time frame of 3 minutes.

  • magazine - magazines in Deep Shit

    When the devil sings his song to lure them into selling their soul, the musicians in ‘Deep Shit’ get to see a few magazines in which they will be featured once they are famous. Of course, those magazines had to be designed, even though you could only see them for less than half a second. But here are the spreads you see in the movie, if you don’t blink your eyes.

  • identity item - newspapers

    In the animated short ‘Deep Shit’ we needed a lot of graphic design within the over all design. Like magazines, papers, posters, flyers and logos. The ‘Tempo Futura’ is, like the others, a newspaper as presented by the devil – to show what their world will be like once they are famous.
