Rat Race city scene cont.

After all the basic geometry had been built up around the house to give the scene its clostrophobic atmosphere we started to consentrate more heavily on the more detailed asthetics of the scene. For example we gave the skyscrappers in the background windows that glowed slightly, the road rails, cars, lines and as well as street lamps and more detail to the house itself.

We both wanted lighting to play a huge role in this short film getting darker and lighter during the charcters highs and lows and bringing to life this cold, clynical urban environment. As you can see from some of these renders the lighting took alot of tweaking as we were using alot of reflectiing surfaces as well as a large number of lights to give the scene the grungy urban feel.
