Below is the Sinners Prologue sequence that I worked on and below that are my concept design frames from another direction that I pitched to Ryan Coogler, the director of the film. I was invited to explore ideas for the opening sequence, with the goal of visually matching the film’s Delta blues soul. Centered around an old blues-era guitar. For the pitch I sourced a period instrument and staged it inside an old barn to ground the imagery in time and place. Early-1900s newspapers were layered in to add texture, grit, and history—small details that helped shape the mood and set the tone for what unfolds.
