Deb has now successfully complete all backgrounds. She will get a high credit for the film as she not only experimented with colour, tone and depth for my film but literally coloured and shaded every single background. Once all the backgrounds were complete some still need tweaked with lighting and continuity but Deb is currently working on other projects so will not be able to do any work for me until after the deadline.
With experimenting with some of the much earlier concepts of backgrounds Deb also helped with deciding what the final scene would look like. I knew it had to stand out from the other backgrounds, but I didnt know how? She produced these three images and I then showed them to the tutors and the third one got all the votes. It still looked like it was in the same world, unlike the brown background which Leonie stated look like 'baby diarrhea', once again brown is not my friend. I also knew that the burst of light was a very important factor as I didnt want the audience or the creature to know where she was going to add a sense of mystery to the end of the film.
Here are the three experiments Deb made: (drawn by me, toned and coloured by Deb)
First:
Second:
Third:
None the less as part of the composting process I am adding the lighting to all the backgrounds needed. It is essential for there to be light beams in the deadline edit, otherwise my film's structure will not make visual sense. It does make a huge difference to the overall frame. To make the lighting I used the pen tool to draw the outline and then fill it in with a gradient and added multiple layers of different sized light stripes. I then added another layer for the little light speckles. Ideally I would like the light and the specks to gently move but again with time restraints it will not me done by the final deadline but hopefully will have time before the grad show.
Here is a little before and after of the final scene before I apply the lighting effect.
