I developed two distinct design styles as part of the promotional campaign for 'The Last Movie Stars' on CNN+ (now Max). The overarching concept revolved around a production studio desktop, as the actual construction of the series was integral to the documentary.
In this series of boards, I used a top-down, tabletop approach. Though simple, it turned out to be a creatively rich experience due to the amount of historical material involved. The first frame illustrates the beginnings of their lives and careers, carefully curated to only use black and white. This involved not only desaturation but also a selection of objects in harmony with the color scheme, along with the integration of period-appropriate technology. As the narrative unfolds in time, I introduced more color and modernized the technology to reflect the evolving eras.
