    Style Exploration

    This cafe is a large, popular spot for teens to hangout after school, that could be in the recent past, or near future.

    Scenes that fit the happy but dramatic teen vibe of the overall theme were sketched out to test how the interior could work with that kind of cinematography, as well as give the camera flexibility for different angles and types of moods.

    I had the pleasure of being the background design lead for this amazing indie short, and worked with a team of great BG designers to create over 50 shots for the film, as well as design the background layouts, props, and guides shown here.

    With a large team, creating maps and guides were extremely helpful for BG design, as well as storyboarding and BG paint for continuity.

    The visual style was different for a specific scene that used many shots, so it was critical to maintain consistency amongst all BG designers about which style they were working in for each of their shots, which was a great exercise in clear communication and teamwork.
