Approach
As the film is completely captured on 16mm film we wanted to embrace the warm and subtle grain this medium brings in our approach. The main title and symbols are a manifestation of multiple analogue proceses were we traced existing letters and shapes and digitalised the results to capture the imperfections so it seamlessly integrates with the film. The end credits are based on a playful system that helps create a distinguished feel as regards to more traditional credits.
