this is how the shadow is going to look this is a test from one of the other scenes.  trying to get the shadow the exact same as another person turned out a bit harder then I thought it was going to. in the end I feel that I got some what close to this.

gym shot

This is the first shot of the gym first time seeing the the film on how its going to look. although this shot has not had any special effects. ill be uploading one soon of the final of the shadow and how its going to work.

The way the shots have been put together has been a great experience and I would have never thought of doing them this way. The way we went about doing these shots is I modeled the environment in maya. rendering the base colour out as a gray and put the shadows and ambient occlusion pass. putting them into photoshop and painting over the top of them and this is how we got the ground.

Trying to stick to a selected pallet to keep the backgrounds clean retirement home we went with light browns and greens. keeping this 2 tone colour scheme through out the project we found to keep the strongest for this film because of the character having a changing colour shadow

the retirement in a colour board. these are the matt paintings that I have been working on. picked up alot of new short cuts in photoshop.

Matt Painting

Here it is my first Matt painting this is a 3D render painted over in Photoshop.

once the environments are finished I have moved on to making these in to renders and Matt paintings we have chosen to use this way so you actually animate with just a plan in the background and the environment is just flat this helps give a more flat toon shading as this is what we are looking for this is a working progress on the retirement home.
