HEY! It's Lucas the graphic design student again, here with another class project. This project was to create the opening credits for a novel or source material that has not yet been adapted for the screen. Choosing The Song of Achilles, I was heavily inspired by the art of the Ancient Greeks, reimagining my fan cast in this historical style.

Timothee Chalamet as Patroclus
Nicholas Galitzine as Achilles
Monica Bellucci as Thetis
Benicio Del Toro as Chiron
Avantika Vandanapu as Deidamia
Ana de Armas as Briseis
Jude Law as King Peleus
Mark Ruffalo as King Menoetius
Thomas Barbusca as Pyrrhus

Directed by Luca Guadagnino

Utilizing a process of handdrawing each profile in Adobe Illustrator and adding layers of texture and material, I then plugged each illustration into Adobe After Effects, bringing life to each character.

I do not own any of the songs featured in this video!

I hope you enjoy!
