I am responsible for all aspects of this piece, except for the model and textures of the scarecrow. The objective of this piece was to explore nighttime lighting and to convey a mysterious mood. I wanted the scene and camera to tell the story without the use of characters. The biggest challenge was balancing the darkness with the pools of light, and making sure it is bright enough to see while still reading as nighttime. This piece was created in 10 weeks, in the Fall of 2017.

Above is a turntable of the police car in the scene, a 1990 Ford Crown Victoria. I am responsible for all aspects.
