Out Risking Life and Limb

Took some referance photos of my pond, so it gives up some primary source imagery instead of relying just on google images, or flickr pics.






I'm imagining at the moment our film is being set in the middle of summer so these pics in autumn lighting and content are very different to what it going to look like, but you can never have enough referance, and it would be stupid not to use the resource.

Also thought i'd include some failed enviroments drawings, just to show what hasnt worked.

Both are done in photoshop.This first one was completly off the top of my head and was done by painting ontop of an old paper texture. It doesnt work because it hasnt come out anything like what i had hoped it would. The layout seems sparse and the colours are far too solid, whereas what we're aiming for is vibrant but (for lack of a better term) wishy washy - a style which ATM seems to only be achieved by using water colours.
This second one is done by rotoscoping one of my pond photos. Once again the colours are too solid and vibrant and because there are no applied textures it looks very flat, i could probably continue working on it and get it looking half decent, but its too time consuming and not practical given the amount of workload we still have.
