Day 3: Finding the Metaphor and Beginning Concept Artwork

Yesterday was a time of discovery; we drilled down on the messaging of the film and worked through different metaphors and ideas using sketches, doodles, and freeform painting!! By lunchtime, we found the visual metaphor we were looking for to strongly convey our message and began concept artwork. It's very exciting to have the general shape of the story idea!

Artists DJ Cleland-HuraTara WilliamsonSkyler PunnettLaura Bifano, and Clive Powsey have been working away, so we'll show you some of their illustrations and paintings soon!

Also, thank you very much to the Royal Coachman Pub for sponsoring our meal (again!!). Dinner was fantastic!
