Visions from the Upside Down: Stranger Things Art Book

Product Information

Michelle: There were! Obviously we looked at all of R/Greenberg’s sequences – Altered States and The Dead Zone specifically. I know we looked at Bullitt by Pablo Ferro because it’s one of my favourite title sequences, but what we were really doing was looking for the optical quality they had rather than the motion design. Michelle: That was my era! [laughs] I love The Goonies, E.T., Star Wars– Aliens was amazing – all those films. They stay with you. The music is such a huge part of this sequence. Did you work with the composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein at all? Where the young man has gone and exactly who – or what – is responsible for his disappearance is a mystery to his friends and family, but answers may lie in the secretive government lab just outside of town – or perhaps somewhere in-between. It’s up to Will’s intrepid friends, his dogged mother and brother, a washed up cop, and a strange girl to discover the truth of what’s lurking below the surface of their seemingly normal town.

Visions from the Upside Down: A Stranger Things Art Book

After that call they sent over some book covers that they liked, from books that they’d either read or seen as children. Most of them were by Stephen King, so we knew they were looking for something that felt ’80s and tapped into this nostalgia by using that typography. View 6 imagesDel Rey Books Visions from the Upside Down: Stranger Things Artbook is an upcoming artbook dedicated to the Netflix original series Stranger Things. It will feature artwork created by over 200 artists from the comic, illustration, fine art, video game, and animation industries. It will be released on October 15, 2019. [1] Michelle: A friend of mine who works here recently showed me this amazing artist named Henrique Oliveira. He’s a Brazilian artist who does all of these things with what looks like wood. I just saw that yesterday and was like wow! Michelle:Things that we saw that we adopted were the fade-downs of the type that change colour in the fade. If you look super closely we added some of that, red in the fades. The jitter in the light was another. Also the way the type moved. If this was a real title done in the ’80s the designer probably would’ve been fired! We have maybe a few too many inconsistencies, but I think that’s what makes it beautiful and gives it that organic quality.

Michelle:Eric created some of his own grain in After Effects and ultimately it was tonnes and tonnes of layering. He used some elements of Lens Distortion 4K which is real shot optical lens flares, but only for like one or two shots, and he used Gorilla Grain which is real scanned 35mm film grain. The Duffer Brothers also used scanned 35mm film grain in the grade of the actual show. But what you ended up with wasn’t your only idea, right? Could you walk us through some of the other concepts for the sequence?

Aside from R/Greenberg’s title sequences, were there any other titles from that era that inspired the project? The company you’re with, Imaginary Forces, began as R/GA LA, the Greenberg brothers’ company, which essentially makes the Stranger Things titles a direct descendant of those iconic Greenberg openings. Did carrying on that design pedigree weigh on your mind while you were working on this? The other one we played with was “Shadows”– type creating shadows or objects creating shadows with type. Those are the two other directions that we looked at. View 10 images Michelle: They really loved the simplicity of those covers, but also those Richard Greenberg titles. To get that kind of brief – to let the typeface set the mood for a show – is a designer’s dream!
