DISCLAIMER: My time at this studio was only for the duration of the creation of this pilot episode. I am not affiliated with the current employees of Spindlehorse. I worked on this production directly out of college as a means of gaining some level of industry experience and to afford rent and by the end of my time on the production had many negative experiences with the director, various employees, and fans of the production that have since led me to distance myself from anything involved with this production or studio.
I do not condone bullying, underpaying, overworking, or mistreating employees regardless of their skill levels.

Stacks of cash!

The idea of this set is that a lodge style bar was teleported inside the hotel. We made sure to try and show the divide between the two with a broken glowing edge between them. Unfortunately no establishing show was boarded for the sequence to show this.
I make sure that even simple shots have character to them, scratches in chairs and mood lighting!
A few shots included low angles which showed the top floors of the hotel. However, there is no design layout for that part of the hotel yet so we had to create placeholders like you see in shots like this.

This Background was repainted many times. This is was the original design and color for the scene before we were tasked with a redesign
Same shot as before but with the new design updates. Shannon and I were happy to introduce a little color variety in the shots.
All Shots together. I set these boards up to check for color and lighting consistency when painting many shots for one scene.
Backgrounds can be seen in production starting at 26:07
