3rd year personal project, moodboard

I started my personal project a little while ago so I've got a build up of materials for my personal project. Here's some mood boards;


 These two boards are for the bird/dragon character that I have in my project. The Philippines Eagle was a great inspiration because of how shaggy its feathers are. I've also used the rainbow lorikeet as a colour pallet for the dragon.
 These house trucks above are the inspiration for the exterior of the train carriages
 Above and below are the inspiration for the interior of the train carriages; they are supposed to have plenty of sunlight but be tight and cramped like a ships cabin with equipment hanging from the ceiling. For my inspiration I have scenes from films; Lewellyn Moss's trailer(No country for old men), Roosters room(True Grit), Ariettys house(Arietty), The clubhouse from Up from Poppy hill, Interiors from Whisper of the heart and My neighbor Totoro as well as Moonrise Kingdom. Otherwise I have looked at interiors for housetrucks and conservatories.


 There is a scene that I want taking place in the city, it was pretty easy to find the type of city that I wanted on Google images although I did grab a picture of the city in Belleville Rondeveu
 In my animation there is a scene where Phoebe, the main character goes to a job interview in a gloomy inhospitable building where she walks through progressively larger and larger rooms. The first room I was going to model after the entrance into Inverlochy house(Wellington), and the second or third was going to be similar to the interior of Massey(Wellington) or the old museum building.The atmosphere for the building was going to be hazy(objects in the distance lose definition as if there is fog inside the room) and greenish. Films that I'm getting the colour pallet and lighting from are; an old horror film called Black Sabbath(Where the band got their name from) which has a segment called the drop of water which uses very greenish light. There is also a specific scene in Shutter Island when they enter into ward C that I like. Also Pirates of the Caribbean also has a very greenish hazy light in a bar scene.

 There is a theatre at the end of my animation and I was going to model it after the St James theatre(Wellington)
