SIP - Interim Crit Presentation

Earl Mills - Yggdrasil Noir Crit

SIP - Shadow Plan

Shadows are very important when it comes to the Film Noir Genre. This plan indictactes the the focal points on the set where shadows will be strongest. Shadows will play a part all over the set with the light source coming from the rear.

SIP - Yggdrasil Noir - Pre-Production 2

This past week I've been furthering the pre-production before the Interim Crit and the step into Production. To accomodate this, I've started to block out the street scene to understand the space and scale needed as well as applie the 'Overgrown' asthetic to each part.

The Warner Brothers Backlot is the basis of the world.
