Fantastic Voyage: Set Concepts.

-

I started to look at some set designs to start to get to grips with what other additional pieces that need to be modeled for the Fantastic Voyage animation; as well as possible colour schemes that will enable the Slime Mold Concepts to really pop and contrast within the setting, but making sure to still contain the neon glow effect that I am aiming for.

Initial Set Designs - Colour Variants.

Since I set the time of day for the animation to be around dusk (sunset), I started to look at the different types of colours and hues you would see around that time of day.

Forming a whirlwind of cinematography as it “plunders every trick in the book to create its illusions” (Ebert, 2002) for the audiences at the time of its release date. ( Figure 1 ). Figure 2: Ann kidnapped by tribes' people. At the time of King Kong’s (1933) release America was at the peak of the Great Depression (1929-1939), most citizens were unemployed and some even left homeless due to companies going out of business.
