Llewelyn Moss didn’t anticipate the deadly consequences that was about to descend upon him when he took bags of money he found from an aftermath of a bloody gun battle between rival drug gangs in the desert.

No Country for Old man is a modern classic that reveals the horrible outcome resulting from greed. I wanted to create a title sequence with an abstract approach in representing the main character and plot of the movie. To me Moss’ behavior is similar to that of a moth who is helplessly drawn to light no realizing that the action may be its impending doom. For my concept, I’ve chosen a moth as a metaphor to Moss’s journey to death due to greed. The sequence was created through a composite of both original photography and texture elements. The moth was initially created by photographing a real moth specimen on a custom lit set with compositing of atmospheric elements and grading as part of the post production process. I also subtly composited paper currency onto the moth’s surface to represent the money as the catalyst of the story.
