Project Review: Godzilla vs. Kong Main Title Treatment Concepts February 2020

 

 

 

 Godzilla vs. Kong 3D Main Title Key Art- A brushed metal edge lit design with a signature red Vs' block up top. I added some procedural mini pitting across both textures to this a subtle texture.

 Godzilla vs. Kong 3D Main Title Key Art- Dark and moody edge lit design. A heavy large Kong bevel and extrusion grounds the design below with the Red ink square vs. up in the corner. I used a black anodized aluminum face to keep the contrast high in this design for Godzilla Vs. Kong.

 

 Godzilla vs. Kong 3D Main Title Key Art- brushed metal logo with a mild bevel up top and a bit heaver one on Kong below.

 

 Godzilla vs. Kong 3D Main Title Key Art- Distressed metal face plate with polished sharp edge extrusion back on this design with a heavy X-men level of bevel. Warm lit from the bottom.

 

 Godzilla vs. Kong 3D Main Title Key Art- flat plate brushed steel faces, with a rounded bevel deeper extrusion fully polished. Kong used a heaver deep extrusion on the bottom in this design. I used the red for the Vs. block paying tribute to the Chinese and Japanese signature ink block.

 

 Godzilla vs. Kong 3D Main Title Key Art- Distressed iron logo with rounded beveled edges. a darker mood in the lighting for this comp.

 

 Godzilla vs. Kong 3D Main Title Key Art- This is the Ambient Dirt render pass for the above design, showing the 3D displacement filling in the corroded areas with dirt. I multiply this render pass over the color one to accentuate the deep pits.

 

 Godzilla vs. Kong 3D Main Title Key Art- a two level design with a red painted holding device behind the brushed steel face with a micro bevel.

 

Godzilla vs. Kong 3D Main Title Key Art- Lightly distressed aluminum with red anodized Kong below and a top cooler light source.

Godzilla vs. Kong 3D Main Title Key Art- My last comp and also my favorite one. Red lit from below and cool lit from above. Texture wise I have polished metal beveled edges, distressed metal inside the back extruded text centers.

Main Title Treatment Concepts

February 2020
 

Client: Warner Brothers Pictures via BOND
Creative Direction: Patrick Dillon. 
Project Date:  February 2020.

     Today I'm posting work I did for Patrick at the BOND Agency for Warner Brothers Pictures film Godzilla vs. Kong built in February 2020 that was released in theaters in 2021. 

     I was amped to work on this film, as I love both the Godzilla and and Kong franchises as a kid in the 70's watching all the original films, and I worked on the King Kong film back in 2003 and you can view the three posts I have on my blog.

       Today I have posted ten of the Title Treatment concepts I did for this film. For this job, the type was locked in by the agency and the studio, so I was to do a number of designs as to how it can be interpreted into a dimensional title. Big heavy and steel was the direction. shiny and aged. as for color red was something they wanted to see. I used the red sparingly similar to a Chinese and Japanese red ink block or Hanko or Inkan.

     I did a variety of extrusions both deep inward and heavy bevels.with a variety of steel textures. I did one with corrosion as a 3D Displacement as if the metal was rusted away over time. I have come to love doing big metal 3D Logos. 

 

     I am still doing freelance now as I hunt for a full-time place to work at, so if you need a bid for a 3D Illustration or 3D Logo, or a 3D Model feel free to contact me for a quote. I am open to Hourly gig's, Work Retainers, Part-time, and Full Time opportunities [ Open to relocation ] would be best.

I have worked remote since 2009, so I am ready to help you.
