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.

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.

_what
film poster for the feature film, donnybrook.
_how
long-time collaborator and friend, tim sutton, asked us to create the poster for the world premiere of his 4th feature film, donnybrook. the film - based on the novel of the same name - offers a brutal insight into today's middle-american, working-class malaise. the poster was our attempt at offering a more abstract interpretation of the struggles within the film. the chain-linked fencing, to our eyes, looking like stick-figures grappling with each other in conflict. 

the second poster included here is based on an idea that tim had, and is an image that - whilst not wanting to spoil the story for anyone - will resonate particularly well with those that have seen the film.

_what
title sequence for the feature film, dark night.
_how
tim sutton asked that we make some additional elements alongside the title sequence for his third feature film, dark night. to achieve this caspar was on set during the filming and was put to work making props and photographing cast members.

the first task was to screen-record a sequence where the film's protagonist plans a trip through town using google maps. into this sequence caspar then composited photographs he'd taken on set of two cast members on skateboards.

the second task was the printing and placing into a cinema lightbox on set of the film's actual poster. this meta sequence can be seen in the film's startling denouement.
