ABSTRACT
Artwork is digitally or traditionally created, the background and environment elements within a film are fundamentally important to the way an audience perceives one’s work. The design may be of the finest quality and the animation superb, but as the background constitutes the majority of the screen area seen in every shot, the quality of it can make or break the way the film looks. Backgrounds can be minimalist or extremely elaborate. They can be cartoonish in style or photorealistic. Horizontals and Verticals is pretty much universally acknowledged that for most environment art, especially exterior environment art, the horizontals will be significantly lighter in value than the verticals. As with everything, a lot will depend on the light source that affects the picture.
