Branding
The filmmaker wanted an eye catching site, with an opening page animation and vintage images of places and characters in the story.
Branding was designed to reflect the film’s visual style using Modern era typography, symbolic imagery, custom icons, with the centerpiece an intricately layered, iconic photomontage of historic Berlin built with Photoshop.

Character collage
An animation featuring vintage photos of characters was created by positioning and scaling photos, then animating them using lightweight CSS.
