Bogie & Lauren Bacall in "To Have and Have Not"

This is an animatic of a Title sequence for the film "To Have and Have Not" (1944, directed by Howard Hawks). Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall's figures are instantly recognizable. I started by illustrating their silhouettes and facial profiles, without adding any details, and kept a monochrome color scheme. This direction stayed true to the mood of the film, which is dark, mysterious, and paced. The story is set by a seaport, the boat is a crucial element in the film, and the fish were added to drive the motion piece.
