the ask

create a cia dossier-style interface and “operator” profiles to help background exposition. additional ask to composite approx. 20 shots.

this interface had to be modern, futuristic, sleek, and in the vein of csi or other military/spy movies that share a similar tone. the graphics served to explain to the audience who our main antagonist is and the illegal things he’s done to warrant lethal force. in addition four “operator” profiles were created to introduce our audience to our four protagonists and to give the feel that they have a decorated military history.

leverage current depictions in film to inform the design

the first step was to look at as many films with similar interfaces as possible. the design had to straddle the line between utilitarian & believable and aesthetically pleasing which are at odds sometimes.
