What it looks like, and when to use it.

Every surface covered in hand-painted polka dots, white on red or black on yellow, all breathing together in waves, with a dark mirror room of lights repeating to infinity. Infinity dots is drawn in code, so the dots can count, group and multiply on cue. It is bold and hypnotic, and it fits ideas about repetition, growth and the very large or very small.

The art direction the director follows.

Every style is a full art direction, not a filter: its own palette, type, motion and music. This is the brief the director works from for Infinity dots.

Look: Drawn in code, no generated images: an obsessive polka-dot world, like a 1960s infinity-room installation. Every surface (walls, floor, objects, clothes, the subject itself) is covered in hand-painted white dots on saturated red, or black dots on yellow. The dots are slightly irregular, on hexagonal grids. A dark mirror room of coloured light points repeats to infinity. Figures have fine black outlines. Flat colour and total pattern: nothing is left plain.
Motion: Everything breathes: all the dots swell and shrink together in a wave that rings out from the focal subject, dots crawl slowly down clothes and surfaces, lights in a dark mirror room fly toward the viewer, a dotted object pulses gently. A scene change grows dots from one point until they fill the frame, and the new scene is drawn inside them. The film can end by dissolving everything into the dot field.
Music: Hypnotic minimalism: repeating marimba or synth arpeggios, soft pulses, layers slowly building, a little otherworldly.
Type: A bold rounded sans in white on red, or black on yellow, set on a plain band so no dot runs through the letters.
