Visions from the Upside Down: Stranger Things Art Book

Product Information

I can’t justify giving this book more than 3 stars simply because out of the hundreds of images only a handful were created by women.

Michelle:Eric created some of his own grain in After Effects and ultimately it was tonnes and tonnes of layering. He used some elements of Lens Distortion 4K which is real shot optical lens flares, but only for like one or two shots, and he used Gorilla Grain which is real scanned 35mm film grain. The Duffer Brothers also used scanned 35mm film grain in the grade of the actual show. Michelle: There’s something about having a purely typographic sequence that’s a dream to any designer. We’ve tried to sell a similar idea many times, so for somebody to actually appreciate typography and the power of type on screen is refreshing. It’s so simple, but simple is sometimes the hardest. It really is the best of all possible worlds. The music is amazing and the show is great. All the ingredients really work together. So the sequence is entirely digital, but you did end up shooting a few practical elements for reference, right? Del Rey Books Visions from the Upside Down: Stranger Things Artbook is an upcoming artbook dedicated to the Netflix original series Stranger Things. It will feature artwork created by over 200 artists from the comic, illustration, fine art, video game, and animation industries. It will be released on October 15, 2019. [1] Michelle:Things that we saw that we adopted were the fade-downs of the type that change colour in the fade. If you look super closely we added some of that, red in the fades. The jitter in the light was another. Also the way the type moved. If this was a real title done in the ’80s the designer probably would’ve been fired! We have maybe a few too many inconsistencies, but I think that’s what makes it beautiful and gives it that organic quality.Michelle: A friend of mine who works here recently showed me this amazing artist named Henrique Oliveira. He’s a Brazilian artist who does all of these things with what looks like wood. I just saw that yesterday and was like wow! The other one we played with was “Shadows”– type creating shadows or objects creating shadows with type. Those are the two other directions that we looked at.

OK, they’re referencing Richard Greenberg so this has got to be good because he’s one of the best.” When I first worked here – when I first freelanced – it was R/GA. So I remember hearing him and his brother’s names a lot and seeing Robert Greenberg in the offices. I definitely looked up to them, you know? So, congratulations on Stranger Things! It’s gotten an incredible response. What was the first meeting about this sequence like?

Aside from R/Greenberg’s title sequences, were there any other titles from that era that inspired the project? Perri would do the titles over and over to get them perfect. If the film shifted or there was a scratch or blemish, they'd do it again. So they actually looked clean. We had to push the style a bit, imagining a title designer who did them out of their garage without the proper equipment trying to make them as clean as possible. Or maybe someone that had made a mistake.

Michelle: The first meeting was set up by Shawn Levy, one of the executive producers and a director on the show. He told us we’d be working with these amazing creators, the Duffer Brothers, and got us on the phone. After talking with them I could see what he was talking about. They had this incredible vision!
