Location/Style Study layout!




Park and Tilford GardensThe light source would be the sun, there are no other artificial lights in this end of the park.  The lights would reflect off of the stone and some of the white wooden posts.  The Focal Point should be the walk way around the garden vine canopy.  I used mostly just one point perspective for the wooden terrace.  I tried to keep a lot of shadows in my design.  Kenneth Spirduso has a mix of both subtle and harsh shadows, so i tried to incorporate that into my design.  Most of the colours are unsaturated, but the greens stand out a lot to give that lush summer look.

Value Study

I think the main light would just be coming from the sky, although it was dark and pouring when i got there and took photos i was thinking of a rain storm, with the sun peaking through the cloud, so its a bit of a misty sunny look.

Location/Artist mockup!

My Location was Park and Tilford Gardens



The Artist I chose was Kenneth Spirduso a layout artist/painter
I like his art, because you can see that even though his work looks incredibly detailed and realistic, its actually very simplistic and almost impressionist like.  He can also make very nice looking and simple layouts like in Curious George.  He uses very vibrate saturated colours.

Beat Boards (roughs)

My grandma use to tell me stories about my pioneer ancestors.  My favourite was when all the men had gone, and a Native came to the house (most of the tribes were friendly, but some had mean fellows in them) and when my one ancestor turned around and saw the visitor was one of the bullies, she screamed and her false teeth came out.  The Native was so frightened he ran away.

Beat Board 3:10 to Yuma

Here's the clip i used http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdnasj3oaCY (it wont let me embed)

I really love this scene from 3:10 to Yuma, the entire thing was intense so it was fin to break down which was most intense and at what point the moment seems to settle down.

I found that while watching this, Its a bit of a shock when Dan dies, but not near as much as when Ben goes and shoots his entire pose that have tried to free him throughout the entire movie.

5 Inspiring Images

1.)Southern Alberta.  I love Southern Alberta and this photo captures the colours and the landscapes perfectly!  photo site.


2.)From "Man from Snowy River"  Ever since i was a kid i loved this scene.  The misty mountains and neutral and blue hues is so pretty!


 3.)Screen cap from Brother Bear.  It was hard to get a picture i liked just because this scene is always moving.  The idea of the spirits in the Northern Lights was a super neat idea and the colours in the whole scene are amazing!


4.)The Trail Ends at Sea (Arnold Friberg) There are many Friberg pictures i love, but this one shows best how well Friberg paid attention to subtle details.  The poster is a historically correct design of a wanted poster, and the man on the poster is seen in the background, while his comrades decide whether to turn him in our not.


 5.)Prince of Egypt concept art. It's almost very simple, but yet very detailed.  I love how the colours sort of show the light sunlight but the water reflection aswell down at the bottom of the pillars.
