Concept - This initial idea helped plan the characters route from the barn to the pond, and then develop the forest he would run through. Eventually we moved towards a path that left screen left rather than through the center.

I was tasked with the Art Direction and matte painting at Cause & FX. This helped create the world that the world that surrounds our protagonist as he moves through location and studio shots. Here in this sequence our main character runs from the barn through a forest and towards a lake created both on location and on-set. We stitched these worlds together with an environment that served the story and aesthetic.
