AFTER DARK Cinematic Set Design For Film
Video Preview
In the film industry creating a set environment is one of the basic essentials of concept art, in this tutorial I walk you through in real time how I go about designing an interior hospital space with a strong visual 80's horror narrative paying special homage to Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining", with its dramatic and un-nerving long corridor shots.
In this tutorial I demonstrate the power of using components within SketchUp to make short work of the modeling and the advantage using a modular design to create a kit of parts for customising the layout of your set very quickly. This will provide allot of coverage within the set from various angles and allow us to generate multiple concept production keyframes, I create nine in this tutorial.
