Trump's Minority Report
Client: Funny Or Die
Role: Designer & Animator
Brief
This parody on Minority Report needed UI designs and animations to the Precog system that Tom Cruise used in the original while adding a comedic flavor to the design.
Process
To get the parody visuals right, I drew inspiration from the original film while allowing some exploration to do new animations and designs that helped deliver the jokes of the sketch. The UI design portion was easiest to emulate and allowed for a study on what is considered to be a classic in the motion design world. No green screen was used, so the use of Mocha became necessary when dealing with complex motions such as Trump’s hand gestures.
Stills
Outcome
With a tight deadline of two weeks as a one man vfx crew with usual day to day design asks piled on top of it all, a lot of midnight oil was burnt on this project. In retrospect, if more time was available, I would have finessed my rotoscoping, and took another pass at adding details to the UI.
