Composition


Finally, we're getting somewhere. I'm happy I attempted this shot, since it's the most iconic of the piece. This definitely clarifies foggy parts of the piece for me.

Another early Style Frame...

I need to start working on Style frames for the piece. This is a first try.

I've been away from the blog for a few weeks while I was casting actors for the film. Also, I have been enlightened by a layout workshop given by Will Weston here at USC. Ever since, I have been focusing on the composition of the film. This has been unbelievably essential to my progress as a filmmaker and I can't believe it has taken so many years to final learn the concepts of layout and composition. Above, there are some samples for Salome using abstract shapes.
