Reflection - 'Rashomon" Title Credits

Created for my Graphic Design III class at Bridgewater State University; our project was to design/redesign the title credits for the groundbreaking film "Rashomon" by Kurosawa Akira. My solution dealt with the concept of mirrors, reflection and the complicated search of absolute truth. Much like the progression of my animation, the film starts out fairly simple/straight forward, but becomes more complicated as each character tells their version of "the truth", creating a web of interrelated stories and forcing the viewer to reflect on the meaning of truth, lies and the motivations of man.
