Re-Do! Class 2

I’ve spent the weekend refining what I would like to do, and making it fit my passions as a VFX artist.

I would like to emphasize cinematography, look development, art direction, environment building, lighting, and asset creation in this. If I have time I would also like a bit of FX with dust and clouds.

I’ve created a rough pitch board, featuring a synopsis, mood board, and some references. My next step is a storyboard.
