INTEGRATED GRAPHICS CONCEPT

“THE SEED OF LIFE”
In the images below you will see that we mocked up a graphics concept for the light our protagonist holds in her hands throughout the film. We chose to use the imagery of “The seed of life” ancient geometric pattern. It represents the consciousness of God, the creator, and is the basis for all creation and the Universe as we know it from Egypt, to India, to Greece, to Renaissance Italy, to the modern day. The seven circles represent the seven days of creation and the two inverted triangles represent the famous phrase "as it is above, so it is below” (the light and the darkness in balance).

The animations emanating from the egg of light would seamlessly flow around the subject as she moves throughout the film. At certain key moments the lines would subtly sync up for the viewer to recognize the seed of life pattern which aligns with the concept of creation, birth, and spirituality that Kanye's film and album are talking about. If you believe in God and magic, then whether or not the viewer recognizes the shape, the power of the symbolism is doing it's work. And the retro-futuristic "neon" aesthetic looks dope.

BUDGET FOR INTEGRATED GFX:
(rotoscope / matchmove / design / animation)

• $850/minute for rotoscoping
- estimated 11 minutes of rotoscoping work in the film = $9,350

• $1,250/minute for shot tracking, GFX, and animation
- estimated 15 minutues of work in the film = $18,750

• INTEGRATED GFX TOTAL: $28,100

TYPOGRAPHY

The typography would be riffs off the classic graphic novel concept of title sequences and typography but with a modern twist that has depth and luminosity similar to the treatment on the “egg od life” we see the main protagonist carry around.

• $150 per title treatment

ANIMATED VIGNETTES

Animated Story Vignettes to Enhance the Narrative

CINEMAGRAPHS

Cinemagraphs are using still image photography but animating subtle elements around the image to create an interesting affect. In this example we created the seed of life around “the mother” and brought it’s energy and other elements of the footage to life in a compelling way. We could create a "cinemagraph" as social media fodder leading up to the film and album release for every scene in the film that features THE LIGHT.

BUDGET:
$1,200 per Cinemagraph
