This is a Title Sequence for the movie Spectral starring James Badge Dale and Emily Mortimer. Spectral is a Netflix made Sci-Fi movie where otherworldly forces wreak havoc in a European city. Clyne (played by James) the engineer teams up with an elite Special Ops unit to try and stop it.
The Final Project done in After Effects.
A screen grab of the Title.
An image pulled straight from the movie showing one of the ethereal figures that are the antagonists in the movie.
Another image that perfectly shows that the special light is needed to see these beings as they are invisible to the human eye.
One of the first things I did when starting this project was watching the movie and experimenting with new techniques of filming. I decided to use a projector pointed at a wall and found various videos online of different things that can be projected onto the wall for interesting texture. Some videos (as shown below), include figures that I could trace in After Effects, ink drops in water, and I ended up using some foil that I put on the wall and then had a video/the projector playing over it to create the interesting effect you see at the very beginning of the Title Sequence.
This is a recording of a projected video on a wall of these figures moving. Due to the projection being in a corner on the wall, it resulted in interesting angles. 
This is the foil and projected video that is in the beginning of the Title Sequence.
