Background Elements 2

Here are a few renderings of specific frames from our first scene with some background elements added.

First though, you should know a few things:

(DISCLAIMER)

All (or nearly all) of the models you see here will be reworked significantly. The purpose of this scene in its current state is really to help Barry and I with blocking and general shot composition.

As such everything you see here is only an approximation of the final scene. Modeling, texturing, lighting , etc. All take a great deal of time - So by working loosely at first we can make broad changes that would be difficult further down the production pipeline.

A great example of this can be found in the shadows that you will see in the scene. By working with very simple shapes as stand-ins, we can quickly make adjustments to the angle of the shadows, or their color..Without spending a great deal of time on the task. Although these shapes aren't much to look at, they tell us important things about the nature of the final shot and help us to determine which areas need the most time and detail.

First up is a rendering of the first frame of shot 1 without any of the background elements.

Next is the same frame with some of our newly created background elements in place.
In the next post, I will show a few more key frames with the background elements included.
