Rough Concept Render


Set Reel: Music Ideas

Daisyphobia, by Youth Lagoon


I know I could never get away with using it outside of my demo, but the adaptation of Chim Chim Cher-ee from Marry Poppins for Saving Mr. Banks (which by the way is one of my favorite movies of the past year) absolutely matches the tone of what I plan to produce and I would love to use it.

Ferris Wheel Design

The basis of this ferris wheel is derived from lace and umbrella imagery with the intent to be cut with a laser cutter and exist as a silhouette in the set. Just an idea for now, by I really like the aesthetic.

Early Ideation

Visual Research! For more check out my Pinterest: 

Color studies and foliage. Structures and assets. The why behind the set.

"This environment is a peak into a moment in time—both nostalgic and fantastic. This space exists warped in the veil of memory—imagination merged with fact to create the magic within."

Visual elements. Shape studies. What can I make a zoetrope out of? Maybe a Dumbo ride, the Mad Hatter Teacups, or a ferris wheel. What if the ferris wheel wasn't a zoetrope, but something really eclectic/eccentric—if all of the seats were different (like a bird cage, an umbrella, a park bench, a flower, or a fish bowl)?  

Early studies. Rough layout. Foliage. Lighting. The little details (ideas for cast parts)
