Documentation

This weekend I was sick, had a cyst in my eye and was an extra on a film in the middle of the wilderness surrounded by spiders the size of a small dog. But that has nothing to do with this post.

Modeling was placed on the back burner for the week so that I could work on the Art Bible and Style sheet for the project. I gathered all my references for architecture, lighting and details and placed them face first on a word doc. Yeah, take it. 

The hardest part has been deciding the lighting palette. The lighting is based on a sunset, but the intensity has not been quite decided yet. The environment is pretty much orange and red, so a red sunset would intensify the monochromatic scale and help unify other colors. However, a bluer sky, a later time in which the sun has almost set completely but the night sky is not quite there yet, allows for a cooler dominant light and secondary light sources are more visible. 

We are probably going for the red lights because they are much more dramatic. Updates coming soon.
