Part 1: Environment
Although I have a few rough ideas of what I want everything to look like, Mood Boards and the like can be very useful for getting your ideas down on paper before you actually put pen to paper, design wise. Most of my inspiration has come from fairy tales and fables and whilst the imagery from these stories can be very powerful, the accompanying illustrations are often black and white line drawings (occasionally inked). This style doesn't appeal to me, especially as concept for a film so I have spent a good amount of time trawling libraries, book shops and the internet searching for visual inspiration.
I have gathered reference from were ever I found it: films, concept art, fine art, video games. Anything that caught my eye. These boards really help me to decide on overall themes like colour palette, style, lighting and texture. All of these are needed when deciding on the overall mood of the film.
