It was made editing in Final Cut pro a series of still photos of the actor I take with a Nikon D70s.
I´ve used a lot of hand made paint textures, drops, ink brusehd lines, etc. Also old stone wall textures.
I compose every shot in photoshop splitting footage in layers, drawing and pasting things like in a way of a "collage" or patchwork.
Later, in After Effects I made a 3d composition with them.
Every layer was internally animated indepently and later composed in a 3d environment in wich I put lights and DoF.
The music and sound effects was made with Soundtrack and apple loops.

Seconds' title sequence


Seconds(1996) is the film about life of a man after he took a special surgery and psychoanalysis. He became a new person with a new identity, new home and new life.

Above is the title sequence of the film, it was made by Saul Bass. He did stretching in every part of a man's face and end up with the normal parts. It's probably suitable with the story of the movie. Stretching can be understood as a surgery process, and after that, the man has a new face. Face is the most familiar to recognize a person, therefore, Saul Bass had chosen it but not another piece of human body.
