_what
title sequence for the feature film, funny face.
_how
writer / director tim sutton and caspar worked together to make a simple set of titles that felt cartoon and comic book in nature. the key thing was to somehow echo the inane grin in the funny face character's mask. the result was a set of titles that look half like they're made with a DYMO label writer and half like an abstracted gummy smile. 

the film had its world premiere at the 2020 berlinale.

funny face_film poster

poster
_what
film poster for the feature film, funny face.
_how
long-standing collaborator tim sutton asked us to take care of the posters and titles for his fifth feature film, funny face. the process with tim is always very fluid and open-ended. he brought some ideas to the table and we augmented those ideas. the poster you see here is one of a series we developed for the film.

in this case tim suggested using a caravaggio painting and we took it from there. caspar's father thomas newbolt then suggested we use caravaggio's painting of salome with the head of john the baptist. tim agreed and sent the funny face mask used in the film to caspar in berlin. caspar then lit the mask with similar lighting to the caravaggio painting and photographed it. the rest of the work from there on out is self-evident.
