Pre-production paintings for unreleased Oakenfold project

These are some 16 x 9 concept paintings for an unreleased Paul Oakenfold video project, painted in Photoshop CS5 with a Wacom graphics tablet. I use images like this to guide colour-keys and focus scenes I feel are important to capture in a production. The images in the desert are more colour keys than concept art but the first image I wanted to shoot and splice into the beginning of a show to increase the drama of the opening.

More..

So the project continues to develop... this is another concept piece for the performance I am working on - I send my ideas on to the choreographers who work out the actual movement, they then present a piece to myself and the other camera operators and we work out how to shoot it.

I want to overexpose the whole shoot to give it a "bathed in light" type look

More as promised

Here is some more concept art from the same project, I imagine I'll be doing this until I get a real freelance job through... :P

Concept Painting

Something a little different... before I did commercial work I used to paint in Photoshop, I still dabble with this from time to time and after a rather long hiatus I have produced the following painting for a personal concept project I am working on with a friend called: Orion



This painting was designed to get the colour keys and atmosphere of the environment and inspired by some local art seen in a shopping centre in Wycombe (!?!). more to come....
