We started off creating a total of 12 matte-paintings in completely different visual directions, with the goal to make each planet completely unique. This was narrowed to eight select-favorites, and we found a perfect balance between making each shot beautiful but still comic. The surroundings were crafted to mirror the actions for each hilarious situation.
It was a challenge to find the balance between comic and cool, but I feel the out come was successful. For more info on how we did this project, please themill.com/work/jockey-planets.aspx
