Background to the Backgrounds

Essetially I built a rough of each background in MAYA for everything in the film that takes place before they go through the portal. Then in photoshop I paint it as if it was a normal background. Then I add the lighting. It's adding a very cool sense of depth I feel. I really like how these are coming. There are a lot more coming soon!

More of the Lab

Here's one I've been working on for a few days now....


(Probably will get a few more touch-ups in "post")

Backgrounds The Lab Part 4

Destruction begins.

Yes, the lab could probably use a little more clutter or something. That will likely be added later, when I think a little more about props n such. I already see that I need to include the shelf that he keeps the lightning sword on, so perhaps that, some more, shelves, n a few boxes would be good....

I should probably also include the soda cans... n trash n such....

Backgrounds The Lab Part 3

Here is the entire Lab now, MINUS one super wide shot that I am still working on...

There is also one intense shot, of when action begins to go down and it gets darker and more moody. Hopefully in a day or two you'll be seeing the Lab in Action too... Then I'm going to work on something else, like the monster book or something... as to not burn out on there too quick and get work done fast...

Also, I'll obviously have to add that Timer into other shots....

Enjoy!

Backgrounds The Lab Part 2

Here is some more of the Lab on the inside, before the chaos goes down! You'll see a few more later today as well, I just want to update them as I finish to show off these things. :D
