About Master Ji Gong Filmposter

Master Ji Gong is een trailerposter voor een Chinese geanimeerde fantasy-avonturenfilm met dezelfde naam. De poster meet 750 bij 1050 millimeter. Chinese inkt en traditionele Chinese elementen zijn gebruikt om een poëtische en mysterieuze oosterse sfeer te creëren. De draak en de monnik, afgebeeld met een rode kasaya, een uit lappen samengesteld bovenkleed en een palmbladwaaier, zijn figuren uit de film en werden gerenderd met driedimensionale software. De inkt werd gemaakt met water en getest op rijstpapier, hard papier en doek om texturen te vergelijken. Alle onderdelen werden vervolgens digitaal samengevoegd.
