The Pacific (+ Steve Fuller & Ahmet Ahmet interviews) opening title sequence. Baptismal and greasy war-streaked faces of mothers’ sons were rendered by Steve Fuller, then in his eighth year at Imaginary Forces.
This was his final project, continued by Ahmet Ahmet, using charcoal on tracing paper, then scanned and overlaid back into the provided original footage. Hans Zimmer’s score plays with a dignity that is on par with To Kill A Mockingbird — and its own legendary opening. The visuals, profound; the sky-soiling blood sun, a singular helmet strap that seems to drain from the man, from his horrors, the variations of charcoal dust analogical to the volcanic sand of the Pacific islands, all blending and fueling the notion that life runs from our sons and the sons of our enemies — then, as now. Art Director, Designer and Illustrator STEVE FULLER details the work done at the New York office of Imaginary Forces.
