Environment Development

We have been exploring a variety of color palettes and design directions for the environments. The team is narrowing in on a final direction of the film that includes photo textures and compositing, with watercolor backgrounds, digital painting and digital 2D character animation.

Initial direction. Colors based on colors from a prop concept.

A revised concept adding more colors to the sky. This also explore the ripped paper cutout look for our character.

A newer concept exploring a blue color palette and watercolor textures for the sky. Also another approach to the character animation.

A concept exploring the original styleframe color palette and a fully colored character design. This concept also introduces some flower blossoms scattered on the branches.

Final environment direction includes the texture quality of watercolor.
