The Grand Budapest Hotel
Title Sequence | Group Project
Composition | 3D Scene Construction
The Grand Budapest Hotel is a lighthearted movie, with dark undertones. Our group wanted to exaggerate that aspect of the film through one of its central characters, Gustav. The sequence reveals and presents Gustav’s trophy fetishes, and highlights Gustav’s predatory side toward older, lonely women.
Process Shots
For this title sequence, we focused on photography mixed with 3D to reach our design goals. I was responsible for the compositing work on the images and constructing the last scene in C4D. The main difficulty in creating the scene was matching the lighting, color grading for the slowly building “creepy” mood we wanted to achieve
