The first scene that I thumb nailed was the bar scene where Sham drunkenly tells the upsky salver about the stuff he found in the wreck. I know that it's not important to the book, but I thought that it'd be nice to have an interior shot in my portfolio, and it might be nice to have a quieter close up shot in my keyframe portfolio.
 |
| This was my first try |
 |
| I pulled the camera in and down. I think this one is more interesting |
 |
| Then I tried a head on shot from behind the bar |
 |
| I pulled the camera dawn again for more drama. I think I like this one more too. |
For the next set, I thought it might be nice to do a sceene with the giant mole chasing the train. I don't think the actually happened in the book, but i think it will read better than the train chasing the mole in a portfolio. I chose this shot, because it will be a dramatic shot with relatively few elements that I need to design. So, I hope that It can be finished quickly.
Ingredients list:
-Big ass mole monster
-Train
-Silhouetted character
-Low camera angle
 |
| First try |
 |
| Second Try, Lowered the camera angle even more, and canted the horizon, also pulled more reference. |
So, during the second try for the mole chase I found a bunch of good reference from snow piercer and it made me question: "what am I even doing?" I'm just finding better shot compositions than I can come up with, stealing them tweaking them and adding a mole. AD's will see right through this. why would they hire me? These are already so great, and I don't think that I can add anything to them.
