Ripley

Board A – Amidst Life’s Details

The idea for this concept would be based on the environments, elements, and details surrounding the main character, with all their mindset of manipulation, egocentrism, and mystery, grounded in their social class, morality, and consciousness.

BOARD B – THE DESCENT: EXPLORING DEPTHS AND DARK SECRETS

The Descent The narrative begins with calm waves on the sand -> waves on the rocks -> underwater -> deeper underwater -> interspersed with statues in dark environments. Water is a very important element, as the sea is one of the backdrop settings of the homicide. The statues, documents, typewriter, etc., are elements that characterize the surrounding environment of the main character.

Board c – Labyrinth of Light and Shadows: Unraveling the Narrative

Concept based on the labyrinth of relationships/events – a play of light, shadows, and geometry representing all the mystery and manipulation of the narrative. The repeated representation of the character conveys the idea of egocentrism, which is very present in their mindset.

BOARD D – GEOMETRY OF INTRIGUE: ILLUMINATING THE PLOT

The idea here would be to link geometry vs narrative in a way that the geometry itself tells a story. The play of light vs shadow aims to convey the idea of manipulated mystery vs revelation / morality and conscience. As we progress in the scene/titles, the light and shadow rotate, paralleling with the character’s dwindling time.

Ripley – Title Sequence (Ghost)

Some time ago I helped on a pitch with Elastic directed by Duncan Elms. Watching the show, I felt inspired to take the idea further. I decided to experiment with AI, mixing in some of my own footage and tweaking it all in post in the end. I fell like this really would fit with the show. And what a show.
