KYRILL — Forest
The forest scene basically did happen as it was sketched out in my thumbnails. Especially I like about the sequence that it is nearly a one-shot with long tracking shots that are blending into each other. Plus: The whole scene only consists of three different 3d models for the plants which makes the whole thing more graphical also due to big shapes...at least I think so. Of course there would have been even more opportunities and possibilities to do it but it turned out to be working well this way.

Down...down we go. Lonely – at least emotionally – as animals pass by on our way...down.
