FOREST WIDE SHOT

here we have 3 different depths of the trees. The foreground ones get dark, then there is a middleground set that are placed on a receding curve away from the camera, then faaar in the distance from where those break, we have another line of trees that form the final horizon

GIRL WIDE SHOT

what if we put her on a pretty nonsensical, but interestingly designed hilltop? no reason it needs to stay realistic I figure. Allows for a lot of depth to be added with low hanging clouds, and the hills in the bg.

DESERT WIDE SHOT

important for this shot is a dynamic horizon line for both the tops and bottoms of the mountains. Achieve this by varying their height, and placing them on a slight curve (if viewed from above) away from the camera. Also note various hand placed bushes, shrubs, and rocks that go back in to the distance to add in depth.

Super Rough Walk Test

really rough initial animation, and definitely temporary texturing, but here ya go:
