The Secret in the Old Clock

OVERVIEW

As the first project from nanticoPICTURES, we knew we had to create something special for “The Secret in the Old Clock.” It was important to us that the design and marketing materials reflected the experimental nature of the short film, incorporated elements from the film and the story’s themes, and felt both fresh and familiar.

Drawing inspiration from Grimms' Fairy Tales book covers and other folklore collections, we married these classic visuals with modern elements like a vibrant, complementary-rich color palette and iconography set to inform the project branding, website, social media assets, behind-the-scenes materials, and other print designs—including posters, screenplay books, stickers, packaging, and more.
