The Reel - Mirror Designs & Interior Hell Scene

 In addition to the exterior of the Hell scene I've also created rough concept pieces for the interior areas of the Hell scene in which the Devil character stands in front of the mirror talking to himself & then walks out onto the balcony to shout into the depths of hell.

Above are some examples of possible layouts & wall details incorporating some gothic style elements such as pillars & skulls, with other contemporary details.

The original mirror concept incorporated melting candles as a way to light up the mirror & character, bringing in details of skulls & bones to add a hell-ish element. I received feedback from one member of the team that he had envisioned it like a giant make up mirror with light bulbs around the edges of the mirror wish I tried to incorporate below.

The Reel - Hell Scene Concept!

I'm also working on the Hell scene for the Reel, so I created this outline concept for the exterior background of the Hell scene, trying to incorporate details that they required for their design including the balcony - which I realise is at a bit of a wrong angle currently...

I received feedback that more lava would be desired! To create a dripping effect from the stalactites & also over the sides of rock islands.

Bottle - Layouts

Examples of background layouts for Bottle - each element is on a separate layer so it is able to be moved around in the scene. Especially if it is an element to be interacted with.

Some of the shots are not regular 1080/920 format due to the changing screen size in bottle & also to be able to move the frame around the layout if required.

The Director will later make animation notes on this, sketching key positions & details within the frame to aid animators in understanding what is required.
