Motion Design, Credit Sequence

I was approached by a good friend of mine, Tina Mwazange, to create a title sequence for her upcoming short, Ethnic Fort Knox. The movie was to be focused on race specifically within the workplace and the ways in which people from BIPOC communities are subtly discriminated against in an office environment.

I I wanted to explore a sequence that would allude to these moods and ideas during the films opening, that could also develop once the film had been watched within the credits. Referencing imagery of prisons and taking from the themes of 1984, I explored variations on a spotlight, a visual metaphor for the white gaze, and how the names of the cast and crew would interact.

The films title design features the condensed typeface Humane; visually presenting the way in which the BIPOC people are made to hold themselves in, with the name being a nod to the prison-like nature of the workplace. The title layout references the Fort Knox building, but flipped on its head, baring the inequality presented within these spaces of work.

To be released early 2025.
