From Barbie logos to medieval manuscripts step inside Teddy Blanks film title design process

News Summary
- Teddy Blanks is the co-founder of Brooklyn-based graphic design studio Chips.
- He is behind the title sequences for Barbie, Weapons and Robert Eggers’ upcoming Werwulf.
- For Barbie, he cut up Mattel’s high-res packaging scans by hand and animated the elements; a VFX company, PowerHouse VFX, shot 360-degree photography of the actual dolls and sent him the animated doll elements to layer on top.
- For Weapons, he had to revive a logotype that Mattel discontinued more than 30 years ago.
But film titles can still present an opportunity for a filmmaker who cares about them to help set the mood, create a memorable moment or inject a dash of humour through clever design gymnastics.
