CONCEPT 01:
Create a dynamic transition animation that begins with an 8-bit old-school style reminiscent of the first Mortal Kombat game. The Warner Bros. logo starts as a blocky, pixelated sprite, evoking the retro gaming era, and evolves into a modern, sleek 3D cinematic version of the logo.
CONCEPT 02:
Silhouettes of two characters engage in a fierce battle, their movements dynamic and their elemental attacks flickering with bursts of vivid, contrasting colors. The intensity escalates until a dramatic strike lands, sending a blood splatter across the screen. As the splatter spreads, it forms the shape of the Warner Bros. logo, emerging boldly against the background.

IDEATION
Through research on the game and the first movie, I have identified several distinctive characteristics. The game boasts a long history, spanning from the 1990s to the present. One compelling element is the retro low-pixel art style of early games. Additionally, the movie highlights unique particle and smoke effects, with each hero represented by their signature elemental colors.
