The hospital room

In about 3 days the hospital room has been made and is ready for texturing, a personal record which I hope will only get better. I took my time to add detail including sprinklers, a fire alarm, and latches on the window.  creating these sets is becoming a lot of fun.

final lighting for the waiting room

After adjusting the lights on the sets for the animated projected "The Grim", I came back to the waiting room and finally got the lighting the way I wanted. Now the light looks like it's coming in through the window and the waiting room has a gloomy look to it.  It's always good to design the room around your main character's view point, and that goes for lighting.  This is a place Dana doesn't like being, and I want the color scheme and lighting to convey a depression in the environment.

Waiting room completed

After fixing the waiting room, and then heading downtown and walking through some buildings (If you were a well enough suit and walk with purpose, no one asks why you're there), I believe I reached an end point for the waiting room with two additions. One, a directional plaque at the end of the hall which can only be seen at certain angles but I added it in case that angle shows up in the film, and a water cooler.  Read a magazine and get some water while waiting.  now to make the view outside and then it's on to the next set!

waiting room with new lighting

Tried to redo the lighting in the waiting room and add some depth to hopefully fix the scene.  I believe it's starting to get there.

testing lights and textures in the waiting room

I'm trying to get the lighting right in the waiting room.  The opening takes place on a cloudy day (I'd love to make it rainy, but I don't think I'm ready for rain).  The scene still looks very digital to me.  I'll need to go over it until I reach a look I like.

set creation

Now that the characters have been modeled I'm moving on to sets.  At this time I no longer have the moment to create sets so I'm using the miniatures I already made fro textures.  These are the first images of work for the waiting room, part of the opening scene in the film.  this set had been built before but I'm updating things. Adding magazines on the table, adding new furniture, changing the plants to look more realistic, new light fixtures, and more.

Soon to repost on kickstarter

I'm planning to repost this project on kickstarter soon. I've spoken to a few people to get an idea of a price range for things like sound and music and programs.  I hope that if you can't help by donating, you'll at least share the page once it's up.
