Live Brief #2 is very digital heavy. The final shot involves a futuristic city landscape, slightly inspired by the 'Horizon' video (mentioned here). At first I played with the concept of the company logo on a city-top garden, but this quickly shifted to a more 'rural' environment.
For this I initially drew some rough concept art, in order to draft layout and possible colours.
This was then worked over to create a more detailed digital painting. Layers as was going into After Effects. Which meant a stricter form of painting (rather than as a whole picture, focusing on each ledge) This had pros and cons, ultimately there was a sense of control but it became more time consuming.
(The colours don't appear to be showing correctly in Blogger, and are a lot more bluer than depicted below)
The original intention for the foreground was for the objects to be made in 3D, however due to time constraints etc. this was not the case, and instead the foreground building etc were also drawn on layers. Ultimately I think this damages the perspective, as it is something I'm not particularly skilled in and struggle with. The signs too (intended to be animated in After Effects) still seems a little bland, flat and blend with the background a little too much.
In hindsight the colour theme is also a problem, whilst used to signify the future the overwhelming amount of blue and pink doesn't sit right with the rest of the shots in the Live Brief #2. That and the painted effect and lack of detail are an obvious contrast and this shot just seems like an addition to the rest of the piece.
