An extremely early landscape test

My job during the weekend was to create a test for the opening credits/establishing shot which is a rip-off from The Day After Tomorrow. Normally, I would list what still needs to be done in the shot, but since this is such an early test, I’ll sum it up in one word: Everything! We’re not even sure we’ll use a shot like this and even if we do, none of what is shown above is likely to appear in the final shot in any shape or form. I made it because we wanted reference for the storyboard and to find a good technique  for creating a similar shot during production.

On a different note, the cinematic logo is more or less finished and can be watched underneath. There are still issues with the paint behavior, shot layout and music, but if we don’t get time to revisit it, this might just be the final version:

Tomorrow, Jamie will return from his holiday and we’ll kick the concept art part in to high gear to finish characters, environments, storyboards and animatic on time.
