Hostage
About
A title sequence designed, directed and compositied by Laurent Brett in 2004 for the Florent-Emilio Siri Hollywood movie. A CG bullet-time sequence inspired by Frank Miller”s comics and a “Film noir” atmosphere (which was done before the Sin City movie by the way). Even if it seems unbelievable, we did this at 8 persons in a small company named Specimen which no longer exists. The CG was done in 3DS Max, with a V-Ray render, and the final compositing and grading of the sequence was done in Adobe After Effects.
The sequence was acclaimed in the famous book Uncredited : Graphic Design & Opening Titles in Movies written by Gemma Solana and Antonio Boneu.
