The most ambitious project I’ve gotten to be a part of, the Cassius and Clay pilot unfortunately won’t get to see the light of day. At Floyd County Productions, I was tasked to help with research and design, background management, training and direction until the pilot’s completion. I had a blast creating this post-apocalyptic world with strong female leads and Killbilly zombies in an Appalachian setting.
Background Painting
Visual Development
Our visual development had to be very fast. Sometimes less than a day turnaround. I used a combination of googled assets and hand drawing photoshopped together to make a lot of the work below. Our visual development drawings were sent off to the 3D department to model and render out in accordance with the storyboards. After the renders were completed, background artists followed a strict painting process to achieve the final look in a consistent manner. You will notice a lot of notes that are specifically for the 3D department on how things function or where they can pull assets off of other shows.
