Caps For Sale Title Sequence

Motion Graphics
Illustration

For an imagined live-action film of the book Caps For Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina, the title sequence artwork keeps true to the original illustrations.



 

CONCEPT

The title sequence uses direct imagery, themes, and motifs from the story as an homage to the original illustrations from Caps For Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina, a book I loved growing up. The approach to the tone is witty and peppy.




STORYBOARD





ADDING MOVEMENT & TEXTURE

The illustrations felt flat, so I implemented a line boil technique that adds random variations to create a sense of movement and texture. Although this was a meticulous process of redrawing each element multiple times, it's rewarding as it gives the animation a dynamic and organic look. The animation combines motion graphics and frame animation.
