The Hole: Aliens Under Helsinki > We need a logo for The Hole > Poster
by: Chris Helenius
My approach is more figurative, and the inspiration was old and retro-ish book covers. A few explanations about the design: 1) The connotative side is that the hole is something unknown, and threatening the whole city. It takes the literal meaning from "under" but is figurative in relation to the actual hole. 2) The icon for Helsinki is based on the road sign for urban areas, with three landmarks; the national museum, Central railway station clock tower and the Helsinki Cathedral cupola. This is still a prototype design, I wish to get feedback to know how to develop it further. The cover doesn't have anything relating to aliens, but I intend to add an emerging hand from the hole.

Looks good. I like those undersaturated and quite neutral colors you have used. You could also try to make either the bottom hole, or the rectangle around the city to match the shape of the original hole (as seen on current poster). Don't know if it would make it too fuzzy, but you can always try. :)

Good work. Kinda reminds me of the District 9 advertising... I'd change the font, though. It's not very memorable as it stands. Dafont.com has plenty of free fonts to choose from. A hand from the hole would be a good addition, too. Or (harder to do) sewer cover and a hand.

Please submit a logo for the film. Specifications: - must be a square - must look ok both as 50x50 px and 1000x1000px - does not have to contain the name of the film - should work both as a full color and black/white version

The Hole: Aliens Under Helsinki > Inspiring movies/tv-series/videos/audio from underground? > Metro 2033
Do you have links to (preferably YouTube or other online video or audio clips) such movies, TV-serieses, online videos etc that in your opinion describe well the mood or visual or audio atmosphere of our movie? How to present the pressing atmosphere of being underground? Perhaps some creepy tunnel episodes? The darkness...? How to present the main characters such as The Hole and The Alien? They might not be ordinary "humanlike" characters but more like everything that surrounds the (potential) human characters of the movie...

This is something that happened to me late last night in the subway in Frankfurt.

"I just got freaked out on the subway for a good measure. In the dead of the night the train stopped in the dark between the stations. Then fucking FACES APPEARED on the windows peering into the train. Riiiiiight they were probably some repair workers waiting for the train to pass - but why so close to the passing train and at this hour? WTF was that all about anyway??"

The Hole: Aliens Under Helsinki > Create the synopsis > one more...
by: Pirita Paananen
There is a massive catastrophe in the central railway station. The busiest metro station of the whole town will be closed for half a year or so. They find the cloud shaped hole. They sense that not everything is normal around here. People change once they get in touch with the hole. They send a detective there. The detective calls to someone he knows to be able to handle paranormal activity. They take a look at the hole together. What happens then? They figure out that the aliens had been doing some research on human in Helsinki and they escaped back home, leaving out the mess so none would pay attention on their spaceships leaving the earth. ...But something was left behind; The hole... And something behind the hole. - My vision of the story telling would be that it should be based on a dialogue; two people trying to figure out what's going on, the other one being sceptic and believing that there has to be an answer through the Science and the other one accepting there might be something we simply don't understand yet. - The hole itself being a judge; people going close to it, going through it have to be "pure" and have nothing on their shoulders; The hole makes one meet their mistakes and gives each to their own. The hole isn't good or bad, it is just forcing people to see their unsolved problems, bad things they've done during their lives and also the unfinished things. This is how it changes the peoples thinking and why it changes people to be silent, scared and in a sense psychotic willing to correct their mistakes; it drives people in to a psychosis kinda state where the thoughts are running and the burden on their shoulder is getting way too hard to handle.

Of course, some of the storytellers would not be sure if the strangeness they have experienced is dream or reality.

There should be room for stories too, right? From people who has sensed or seen the hole in their dreams and seen warped versions of their own fears. Strange and otherworldly. But, I love creature design, and this would give room for your imagination to roam free. A movie driven by story and dialogue doesn't become less so just because you also have some stimulation for the other senses.
