World Exploration

For the world of my film, I started by creating a small map to locate where everything would be. I took a lot of inspiration from my grandparents house back in North Carolina. 

My family used to joke that my grandfather must have been a hoarder with how much stuff he kept out on his land. There were loads of old tires, fences, pipes, wood, etc. I called back to that for inspiration for this first image below, though the amount of junk here doesn't compare to what my grandfather would keep.

For this next image, I wanted to get a view of the farm from the crows' perspective. I figured I'd put a power line for them to loiter on. It's on Maurice's side, allowing them to get to him easier without passing Lump first.

Lastly, I wanted to see how the farm would look at the end of the story. Not only is it darker thanks to the ongoing storm in the back, but the crops are pale and rotten to help emphasize some of the themes in the story. The hardest part was figuring out what kind of trees should be in the background and around the farm. For this shot I finally found that one was all that was needed. It's based off of a weeping willow that stands lonesome in my grandparent's backyard.
