The Wolf Among Us: A Crooked Mile
(Episode Cinematic Lead)
This was the episode when I was promoted to Lead Cinematic Designer. I was tasked with leading and guiding the rest of the cinematic team to help realize the director's vision for the episode. Starting with an animatic I made, I did the first design pass on the alleyway fight. It is this first pass I did on the design, in the broad strokes is what we ended up with.
Also, I had the extreme pleasure of coming up Bloody Mary's physical movement style for the animation team, she was perhaps one of the funnest characters I have gotten to breathe a performance into. I based her movements and posture off of Rooney Mara's performance as Lisbeth Salander, and her expressions/acting is a combination of Harley Quinn and Hannibal Lecter.
