Shaft
This was a fun one. For the 2019 remake of Shaft, we were tasked with coming up with a device that needed to tell story, convey passing of time, and something that would house our credit sequence. I designed a sequence that was themed to each of the years we had to accent, using the technology of that time.
Since I share a birth year with John Shaft Jr. I had a field day reliving the technology that I grew up with. Handheld VHS cameras, classic first gen iPod, introduction of Youtube, digital cameras, and finally smart phones.
