Here’s a quick peek of the "War Room" at the production office.
It’s a huge space. We used this room frequently for meetings during pre-production. Surrounding the many seats and long tables in the middle of the room, all the walls are covered and sectioned off into individual scenes – all the concept art, visual reference and any other related materials are grouped together for display.
One of the things I love about the graphic novel is the incredible attention to detail. Here in the war room, we have created a place where all the departments can combine and display applicable reference, rendering a similar level of detail. From set concepts, to location photos, concepts for props, costumes, vehicles and even product logos, the surrounding walls incorporate it all. These walls are very useful in helping us keep track of so many different elements.
Walking through this room gives one a real sense of each set or location – outlining the overall vibe of what we’re trying to create. I feel like this room captures the essence of having a clear blueprint for everyone to ensure that everyone is working toward the same vision.
If you happen to be checking these pictures out wishing you could see more of the art, I assure you that sometime in November I will post a series of first look photos to show you in more detail what we’ve been up to. Please stay tuned.
