JAGAT ARWAH

01 — CREATIVE

In essence, a magical journey without limits where we invite the audience to penetrate the aisles of time and the universe. We trace the origin of the birth of the Universe Stone and the story behind its birth hundreds of years ago to the present.

All packed with cinematography, full of visual effects that are full of “light” and “ancestral land”, which will make the audience unable to blink for 1 minute 40 seconds.

I see a multi-extraordinary exploration of spirit universe from many angles on this title. Our direction is to honor the filmmakers vision in creating alternative treatments for a horror genre. From concept to the final visual effect elements, this could be our most ambitious, well-polished opening titles animation to date.

Our goal is to create an opening film that not only supports the story of the film Jagat Arwah, but also creates the highest standard for an opening title sequence in the history of Indonesian cinema.

02 — ART & DESIGN

To support the magical elements of Batu Jagat's visuals, the word 'ancestral land' which is also closely related to the theme of this film is translated into a visual form as clay soil sculpture to describe the background elements in the film which are thick with Javanese black magic culture, heritage of science. ancestors as happened in the Aditya House, and the background of the Spirits who used to live during the Japanese colonial period.

03 — MOTION

The idea is to create a one continous, seamless camera move from beginning to the end. We had to use transitions here and there at the end due to certain limitations, but the end result we tried to be as clean as we can.

Since this is a stone clay sculpture, the movement was meant to be stiff and quite sculptury, we don't want to make it too cartoony or too lively, so we can focus in the beauty of the pretty CGI and details around the wonderful landscape.
