The Faraway project

For the wonderful Faraway project I worked as a lay-out/prop designer together with eight other amazing visual development artists. We donated our free time to build portfolio worthy art fitting the Faraway concept. With a tailor-made pipeline, a subjective director with a vision and a producer (me), we collaborated to create visual development art for, what could be, a 3D animated short. A story written from scratch, a 30 frame beat board with beautiful colour script options, lay-out and prop designs and even a bit of production design in the form of a style guide.

I am grateful to have been a part of this as a Lay-out artist for the Island sequence and some production design. And it was an honour to produce this project. Here you can find my Island and foliage designs. If you want to see more of this project, “the art of Faraway” PDF can be found at the bottom of this page. I hope you enjoy!
