Cinematic Tableau

Cinematic Tableau: Creating subtle effects to help elevate the realism and mood of a scene.

This Houdini was a student collaboration project with a Lighting Artist (Instagram: franarmstrong.art), we worked on a scene inspired from The Place Beyond the Pines. Taking inspirations from noir films with an uneasy and moody tone.
