Smokin' Aces

The on set photographer working with Joe Carnahan the film's director shot thousands of stills.

Working Title Films and Universal Pictures gave us access to all the still photographs so it meant we could get shots that were from different angles to the movie itself. By finding sequencial photographs we could also animate these by turning them into the film title sequence.

Using adobe After Effects we constructed our images and split them onto layers so we could put in our own camera movement and depth of field. The film title sequence harks back to "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" or those 1960's movies.

To get the rostrum type hand made feel we filmed ink textures using a Canon D5 stills camera and used a Saphire plug in to get the scratches on the film.
