VENOM

TITLE SEQUENCE

FONS SCHIEDON,
BEN CONRAD

A dark fusion of ink, fire, and digital craft—capturing the film’s central theme of duality through a sequence that feels unstable, organic, and alive.

Fusing physical experimentation with digital motion to mirror the internal tension between man and symbiote—a living visual metaphor for control and chaos.
THE RORSCHACH METAPHOR

We utilized the Rorschach test as the primary visual anchor. Its mirrored ink patterns echo the symbiote’s texture, grounding the design in a psychological battle that feels unpredictable.

This narrative device allowed us to embody the split nature of Venom himself, creating title cards that feel like an evolving, sentient ink-blot test.

UNDER THE HOOD

The process began with tactile experimentation—dissolving ink on acetate, burning textures, and blotting glass. These organic reactions were scanned and fused with a 3D digital layer.

By projecting these physical textures onto 3D models, we achieved a seamless fusion that allows the camera to glide through the "living matter" with cinematic precision.

RED BLEEDING INTO BLACK

Names emerge and dissolve like living matter, transitioning from monochromatic ink patterns into a dark fusion of fire and digital craft.

The final result is a high-fidelity entrance to the film that captures the comic's DNA through red bleeding into black, signaling a world where the design is as beautiful as it is chaotic.
