Chimera Space Ship - Monitor Screen Design

In an effort to make as many elements of my film "Bill & Maggie" feel tactile and authentic, despite much of it having to be created in post, I took on the challenge of developing graphical visuals for the two monitor screens present on the Chimera bridge set. The graphics themselves were simple enough to devise, as I had quickly come up with most of them during a single brain-storming session, and each had a specific part to play to allow their use to be very readable by an audience. The trick was making these graphics look like they really were coming out of the monitors. After looking at the actual makeup of analogue television screens from the 1980s and 1990s, I quickly devised a technique for replicated this three-color mixture appearance by filtering my graphics through 3 JPEGs of thousands of tiny rounded peg meshes. The result is what you see here.
