I referenced and was inspired by many pieces of media, from movies to video games (Ref Blog post). So some of the shots are inspired by them and some are my own ideas I tried to visualise with some references.

Backgrounds and environments are my biggest challenge but I tried to create some images that would fit into the narraitve of the magical world while still includes a realistic sense. I decided to do the background and most of the animation in greyscale first and come back when I can to colour them, as we did discuss colour palettes but unfortunately I didn’t feel like I had the time or full concepts to do it. I wanted to keep them as simple as possible as it is not the main attention of the scene, but does have a lot of varied shots of the environment to showcase where they are and how dynamic spellcasting and this world is.
