Walk Cycle: The Horizon

A raw black and white still from filming.

Original storyboard artwork.

My main focus for today's animation was to further capture the atmosphere of the ending through the lighting. In comparison with the first shot I animated using water, today's animation was more successful in responding to the light. I felt the silohette has worked well with the lighting and thus reflects the original concept art I sketched out. The lighting has also been used to create light beams from the clouds in the right hand side of the screen by directing the light at the camera and creating a lens flare. This being one of the main shots in the film, I felt the lighting captures the sadness but also the somberness successfully in this one shot.
