The environment design took a very important role in this project, the story happened all in a jungle, every details from tiny plants to big trees and rocks were taken seriously, in the sense of silhouette, shape to color. Designing plants was a challenge in redesign and reintroduce an existing objects people are familar to, Hoimun finally came out with some interesting design of them.

Putting big trees, plants and rocks together in composition, environments were created. Color mood thumbnails were also created as a guide for matte painter.

In some shot where there was no dynamic camera movement, we used matte painted background instead of 3d rendered. This helped a lot in shortening the rendering time and on the other hand create a more artistic and moody background. Before proceeding to the final matte paintings, Hoi Mun had a few try out paintings, and also tried to composite in software.
