Background Design

For my animation, I need to create both 2D and 3D backgrounds, for the appropriate sections of my animation. I have made basic concepts, but I still need to get my ideas down properly, which is why I am making this post.

The main idea I have for the scene where Larry is walking down the street, is to have a small park next to the route he walks down, as well a building next to said park. These will be fairly light in colour, to contrast the later grey scale colours of Larry's workplace. Larry will walk past the park, which I am intending to have a few trees scattered around a dirt path, which the end of cannot be scene, as it leads out of shot.

After the first main scene, I intend to have a small transition scene, which will likely just have some basic background pieces, such as trees and a skyline.

After this, the final scene is in Larry's office, where Larry will be sitting at his desk, rather like the pose I made for the character sheet. The background for this scene will be a very basic white wall, similar to an office, with the fairly standard analog clock above his head. I may put in a background piece which allows the audience to see a portion of the rest of the office, however this may slightly take away the effect of Larry being sad and alone.
