Title Sequence : Double Life of Veronique

Year: 2023
Role: Designer & Animator
Redesigning the title for the 1991 movie, "The Double Life of Veronique" by Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski.



The film explores the themes of identity, love, and human intuition through the stories of two identical girls: Weronika, a Polish choir soprano, and Véronique, a French music teacher. Although they are unaware of each other's existence and live in different places, speaking different languages, and they feel an emotional connection. Their lives are in sync in different paths, they are 'doubles' of each other.

The animation is inspired by the well-crafted details in the movie, adapting the idea of 'not knowing each other'. The sequence first goes through the story of each girl individually, with a hint of the existence of the other girl. Towards the end, when the film title is revealed, the two girls appear in the same frame facing each other, indicating the miraculous attachment.

I wanted to challenge myself by creating a motion graphics piece with an uncut action and playing with illusions. I also enjoyed playing around with the prompts from the film and giving them an abstract twist.
