The Dandelion
This is a very small element in the scene. You can compare it with the tree leafs in the Anchor and with the Sunflower leafs in the Sunflower Fountain. It is just a small element that makes the picture. It tells just a little bit more about the scene. I called this the horse flower, because this is the exact translation of how we call this plant. Horses seem to eat this plant or flower a lot. What i like about the horseflower or dandelion is that the seeds can fly anywhere. If you roughly shake the plant, all the seeds will lift of in the sky and wonder around until they find a good place to land. One of the few places to have wind all the time (all most) is the sea. Even if it's a little bit, there should be enough, perhaps a small breeze to push these seeds from land to anywhere, and perhaps this small seeds, flew all the way across the sea to meet Lucas, and tell him that his home, is closer than he thinks...
The Video Making Of
So the video making of this is something important in this whole project. It shows a lot of the places where i have been to shoot my reference and it tells about the progression and why i made some decisions. I think it’s worth watching if you liked the written making of and of course the project itself. The Video making of consist of 5 Parts, divided into 2 sections. In Section 1 you can see the 5 parts with the ambient music only and in the 2nd section you can see the same parts with the director’s commentary.
The Making of has many renders, screen captures from while I'm working on the chamber of oceans and also visions about how nature gives you the greatest library of textures available. The making of is all most 40 minutes long and I hope you all have fun watching it.
It can be seen on my website at.
