The mighty Joseph Kosinski invited Munkowitz to the GFX party once again, this time for his spring blockbuster feature film OBLIVION … Predictably, the list of graphic assets to be created was obscene, so munko assembled and led another super team of GFX mercenaries and descended into the lovely confines of Crater Lake Productions to generate the aforementioned fuckload of graphic content…

1. Please describe the initial brief.
The brief was mainly a blank canvas. The only requirement was that we had to feature in some way the line up of artist that were going to be part of Playgrounds Fest 2012. Leon (Playgrounds director) just wanted to give us creative freedom and he encourage us to try any thing we had in our heads.

~ A sequence delivering a black on black abstract retelling of the entire Millennium Trilogy.
Blur Studio was tapped by longtime collaborator, director David Fincher, to create the opening title sequence for his highly-anticipated film, “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” based on the first story of Stieg Larsson’s Millenium Trilogy. ‘All that I’m asking you to do, is reinvent any expectations of what a title sequence could be,’ was the project’s creative mandate directly from Fincher. With that, Blur co-founder and the title sequence’s creative director Tim Miller began working with Fincher to cull key moments in the Trilogy that would lend themselves to abstract imagery and visual metaphors. Along with that process, the Blur team compiled concept art establishing a high-gloss, black on black, liquefied macabre look that captivates viewers from the first frame.

Fisher then was a plain white simple character and the animation test I did with him must have been 7 seconds long. Continue Reading →
