The official THE LEAVING poster for Philippine premier! I decided to make a simple poster with the stained old-paper look on the design. Notice the design on the background? I got those writings from actual "THIU CHIAM" papers that I got from a nearby chinese taoist temple. By the way "THIU CHIAM" is a ritual that taoist believers do, it's an act of praying to the taoist saints to ask for an advice for a major decision. It's kinda complicated to explain so just watch the film to know more about it. The THIU CHIAM paper watermarks seals up the Chinese feel on the film. The tri color that i used on the background signifies the three color scheme on the three segment of the film...the smoking incense stick design was also inspired with the theme of the leaving nd with the characters' regular visit to the temple. Anyway I'm 85% satisfied with the poster design. It's somehow unique but classic...I love the dirty look of the design and the dried up blood stain effects. Anyways to everyone who's unsatisfied with the design, don't worry I'm planning to make several poster designs for different screenings around the world. will keep you guys updated with it. ANyways I still need to catch up with the submission of requirements deadlines...man love the deadlines! it somehow makes me feel things are going the the exciting stage of filmmaking. By the way I did the poster myself! you know how independent filmmakers are here in the Philippines
"Guru's" or procrastination enablers?
