Here is the part of the story I am going to create in maya...
A poor servant-girl was once travelling with the family with which she was in service, through a great forest, and when they were in the midst of it, robbers came out of the thicket, and murdered all they found. All perished together except the girl, who had jumped out of the carriage in a fright, and hidden herself behind a tree. When the robbers had gone away with their booty, she came out and beheld the great disaster.
This part captured me because of the horrid situation the girl would have been put into. To discover the people she was with dead and gone, and to find herself alone in the huge and vast woods. I love dark and moody atmospheres so this is great.
Some things I want to Include in the scene:
- The feeling of being small
- helpless
- lost
- the wood being long and vast
- a hint of claustrophobia, the trees close in on you
- moody lighting, moonlight
- mist
- long tree trunks
- broken cart in the middle on a narrow path.
Time to get sketching!
