week 1: Research

     After having few group meetings and brainstorming about all our ideas we decided to pick few that seemed most appropriate and create some moodboards and pinterest boards. One of my ideas was small pub/theatre in which low budged magician or illusionist would perform. My main reference was one of sets from 'Prestige' film.

 

Two screenshots of that 'Prestige' scene:

I also made a simple layout/concept of the place I was hoping to model:

 

 

 

 

 

 Besides creating moodboards and pinterest boards I did some reading. Here's the book I managed to get in one of Leicester's second hand shops a while ago. It's full of photographs and drawings of various furniture and props. Lots of useful stuff that cannot be found anywhere on the internet, I'm hoping to find some free time to scan them so I don't have to carry this huge thing around.
