The Making of “Versus” – Part 2

Teaser Stills

---

What are Movie Stills?

Movie stills are individual shots taken from tv or film that are used as both a technique for creative exploration during the production process, as well as promotional material to advertise and cultivate an interest in a project.

For “Versus”, I created stills to determine the cinematic aesthetic and stylistic concept for the teaser.

Character Illustrations

After creating the backgrounds, I proceeded to illustrate V’s antagonist, Avyon, within the stills. Similar to rendering the environment, I created line art, laid down flat colors, shading, and completed the still with filters, textures, and other effects to achieve the final cinematic concept.

Still Breakdown:

Still #1

The first still, features a focused Avyon looking out from within a moonlit castle down on his Vazalian subjects.  The purpose of this shot, is to define the cinematic render of the teaser and to imply Avyon’s impertinent nature as both a Noble, Emperor, and antagonist.

Still #2

The second still, showcases’ Avyon’s smug, villainous content after a successful scheme works out in his favor.
