Mr Bojanges Vinyl Character Study 1

in , ,

mr bojanges of three worlds had two main design…pre-morph and post-morph, but the in-betweens had this entity going through a mid-morph.

its been several years, but it, through an other worldly communication protocol is now demanding a physical mid-morph edition to claim post-ethereal.

we did the original animation the ol’ fashion way, as i’ve always had a deep fond spot for 2D rotoscoping and cel animation is one of our great 20th century achievements.

Young Ali: those were the days title design process

in , ,

seen below are some of the iterating on young ali: those were the days title designs. both the english and farsi versions where done first by hand by artist martin nilchian.

he went back to his graf roots to blend between our aesthetic & story considerations. you can see some designs really signal an authentic early 90’s socal graffiti style. in the end, we chose a design that had just enough flavor of that style, without it dominating, and showing transformation of time in the details.

the persian version had additional challenges that had us consulting some experts in the language to seek a proper translation.

What I’ve always found amazing about Amir Motlagh’s films is how he deals with connection in a disconnected world.....As Saam navigates his life and relationships, we as viewers are challenged to consider what is art, what is artifice, and what we think our world really is - Jamie Toth

I was sent this earlier and since it came recommended, i read it. Truth is, I don’t read attentively what people write about my work because good or bad, my creative pursuit wants to remain untethered to opinion, & its wave-like aftermaths.

But, when i get the impression that a connection was made, I get curious. And in this piece, that connection was made.

The Three Worlds piece by Jamie Toth can be read here or here.
