Another concept piece developing the laboratory scene further. Again, I'm trying to capture the iconic shot of the baby in a growth tube/pod.





Experimenting with some varying designs of the growth pod. The more rounder shapes tend to take the setting a bit too sci-fi so I stuck with the more traditional cylinder shape.

Our story has changed slightly after our meeting with Matthew Spradlin. A detailed post on this is soon to come with some storyboards, but essentially the 'Baby' is from an underground laboratory from the centre of Earth.

Initial concept for the laboratory scene, focusing on capturing the iconic image of the baby in a growth tube/pod.

References for the laboratory scene. The style and aesthetic that came to mind was a sort of retro style of technology with a 1950s era, mixed with Frankenstein/Dr Strangelove overtones.







Notice the use of lighting in Dr Strangelove (1964), with the overarching map and led blips creating a very dramatic effect.
