Lighting and Set Design

I visited www.halbstein.com and read up on the lighting tutorial. I know I'll need help with lighting and rendering. I like the idea of setting up a scene with simple geometry to begin planning the lights, cameras and choreography.

I have a garden somewhat planned - just need to get it down on paper and then into maya in a simple form. Ideally, I'll have my storyboards finished for the Industry Review, but even better would be an animatic.

Ugh, almost forgot a style sheet ... I think I'll do that next week. I like working in this big, blocky sort of way getting the story down. I think the style can wait a little.
