Underwater look

That is how the environment will look like - houses/sea feathers/shark eggs - where the lights (our characters) are going to go trhough the space.

The storyboard will be on the group website.














Another idea for the houses.... :
















Here is one of the first scenes:
all dark when lights appears, so that you can just see a little bit when they pass by things....

Mistery in the beginning where the audience doesn't know where they are......

Underwater Environment

After thinking about an invoronment up in the sky and trying to conceive how it would be, the project took another direction, one more time... We are now thinking about a underwater world.
There goes the first sketches of a "work in progress".

Digital Environment

The incial idea is to use the theme of Global Warming, where we want to show the idea of things that were once beautiful and alive becaming apart, dead and dark, with all the destruction in the athmosphere of the Planet.

We want to create a interesting village, or little city, or just a building, in a compact style, maybe up in the air...

The picture in the left illustrates good the idea of the place being up in the air.











Maybe an animal as a butterfly or a dragonfly will be use as a story teller.


There goes a beautiful reference for butterfly...













We did not decide which kind of environment we will use to show the idea, but here goes intersting refence for future work development:
