Crafting believable worlds requires the marriage of background landscapes and character design. When they meet in the past, we get history. When they intersect in the present we get story. Style and technique are the means by which visual development employs digital tools like Photoshop and Blender or the traditional fundamentals of physical media to express the feel of a place and time, the context that gives a believable shape to character and story. Whether comedic or tragic, the look of a film extends as much from the conceptual formation of how history forms the context of a story as it does from the look and feel of individual images.
