Carecrow Field

The base of this set is made of some scrap chipboard wood, with a hill towards the back set slightly infront of a interchangeable skyscape, allowing the effect of a horizon no matter how high or low the camera is positioned. I then glued strips of wool to give the effect of vanishing perspective.

I wanted the set to be as simple as possible, and for the materials it was made from to be identifiable. For the flood scene, water would be represented by blue scrap fabric, so making the world one which was not trying to be hyper realistic but more representational would fit nicely with what I had already planned. Grey wool glued in lines getting closer together as they recede towards the back of the set worked well in this regard - what they represented was obvious, and yet the material itself was identifiable in every shot.
