Hi! I have been busy with my regular works for a while and finally got some time to prepare my concept submission.

So here is my concept idea;

The building gives me the feeling of a monumental structure with its architectural design so to emphasize the building I thought about setting up the scene by placing the building into a fresh snow atmosphere with a foggy background.

I already set up my camera angle and made some conceptual placement of the environment trees. I have done some simple material assignments to feel the final look as much as I can on the viewport and I captured a screenshot that I uploaded for concept submission.

I chose a long focal length to see the facade larger and less environment. I placed the corner of the building just in the middle of my frame and equally distributed the 2 facades of the building in the image by the idea of monumental representation.

The angle, focal length and placement of the building will remain same until the final work but I will be working on environment about the placement of the trees and creating the ground shaped with snowfall. The trees will be placed from camera point to building close to far to have depth and I am planing to use DOF effect.

I want to do some CGI work for the effect of snow on the cladding and the windows as much as the warm living interior let the snow remain on it. Some references are on the inspiration image. The interior will be seen with warm atmosphere to give the feeling of a cosy place just in the middle of land covered with snow and inside of a fog. We will be seeing someone’s trace on the walkway and enterance the building as the warm feeling will be seen coming out from the opening of door.

I will try to update regularly from now on till final deadline.

Good luck to everyone!
