ROLLERBALL

Opening credits for Rollerball 1975

For my last first year school project, I was to create a full-fledged opening credits for a movie, in pair. We chose the science-fiction movie Rollerball, from 1975. We decided to approach it with a modern eye, combining contemporary dramatic orchestral music with digital illustrations and a strong, easy to identify color palette. The movie is set in 2018 where the power is kept close at hands by high politicians, organizing Rollerball games, a hyperviolent sport meant to alienate the people. We therefore embraced the political aspect and manipulative nature of the cast hiding behind the eye-catching sport in an attempt to highlight the underlying themes of the movie.
