A Quiet Place — Ryan Talbot

Some of my Darker Work 💀

A lot of people think of me as the guy who makes cute orange robots…but what some people don’t know is that I also have a huge soft-spot for the Horror genre. I’m talking about suspense, plot twists, survival instincts and wit. Movies like A Quiet Place, Get Out, Birdbox & It (2017) are up there in my all-time favorites. In the about section, you’ll see that Jordan Peele is listed as one of my favorite directors. (If you’re reading this Mr. Krasinski, I think you’re great too!)

What I would like to propose are a few animated loops for social media, featuring characters, locations & props from A Quiet Place. Co-posts on Instagram would be a cool way to make it feel like a collab. I can also talk about my artistic process and do some behind-the-scenes posts there.

Here are some pieces I’ve made over the years that explore darker themes:

Above: “Lost Relics”, 2021

Above: “Specimen Jars”, a personal project in 2019. These 2 videos accumulated 100K views organically on my Instagram, and another 100K views via reposts on Twitter and Tik-tok.

Below: High-resolution still frames from my personal project “The Attic” in February of 2019. These would work for something like a poster or printed collectible. Click on any image to enlarge it.

Below: Some frames from an unfinished title-sequence project I began in 2019, followed by the animatic I made for said title-sequence. A project like this is a lot more involved & time consuming but could make for something really special & creatively rewarding.
