Another movie site: Ush­pizin. My early designs for this one were look­ing pretty good, and I felt unchar­ac­ter­is­ti­cally con­fi­dent about them. Part of one con­cept sur­vives as a com­puter desk­top wall­pa­per; I actu­ally think my title treat­ment is quite nice, per­haps even good enough for a movie poster. I’m not crazy about what Pic­ture­house came up with, but pre­sum­ably their mar­keters know what they’re doing.

It’s such an incred­i­ble amount of work for one per­son to do all this. So when it came time to crank the whole thing out in Flash, I quickly lost my enthu­si­asm as the inevitable frus­tra­tion kicked in. As usual, I hate it. But I’ll give it some time and see if I come around.
