Veil of Smoke

Veil of Smoke is a moody title sequence set in 1950s London during the Great Smog, blending historical realism with noir-inspired mystery. Using a collage and cut-out visual style, layered with fog, shadows, and vintage textures, the design evokes suspense and uncertainty. Influenced by Saul Bass and classic noir cinematography, the project explores how fragmented imagery and atmospheric sound can build tension. The process involved researching post-war London, developing symbolic objects, and crafting a visual rhythm that mirrors the detective’s pursuit of truth. The outcome is an immersive, cinematic sequence that captures the era’s mystery, fear, and lingering ambiguity.
