The Book of Vision | Original Movie Poster

August 14, 2020

I was very lucky, honoured and proud to have the chance to design the official movie poster for “The Book of Vision”, by Carlo S. Hintermann, produced by Terrence Malick.
I contributed to various creative aspects of the movie: conceptual visual design and VFX supervising mostly, but I also designed the logo and the opening and closing title sequences.

I spent some incredible days on ad off thr set, collaborating with truly outstanding artists.

I followed the movie production since the very beginning, so I was very confident and had a lot of inputs to develop in a poster image for it.
After designing the logo, I designed several rough concepts for the movie poster. I tried to produce as many different ideas as I could: I wanted to explore as much visual possibilities the movie had to offer and there were so many!

More than I could possibly handle, actually :)
Here you can see a brief selection of the various concepts I developed.

The analog pass

I ended up with this close up frontal portrait of Eva (Lotte Verbeek), the main movie character, kind of mutating and blooming, sprouting from a giant tree.
The drawing itself is a graphite on ultrachrome light black ink underpainting on 61x46 cm Arches hot pressed 100% cotton paper.

The digital (and final) pass

Then I added digital color.
I also heavily changed some parts of the drawing, I wasn’t very happy with the result of some details (the right ear, mostly) and digital came to the rescue.

Extra content: making of

For the hard core process lovers: the whole drawing and design phase was live streamed so If you are really into behind the scenes kind of footage you can find all the clips in these youtube videos below. Bear in mind they are not edited at all, so expect some very long videos with some random chatting.
