Found a great resource: Weta Workshop: Jane and the Dragon.

WETA

I've already gotten so much from their staging, props, backgrounds. In particular, I like the way they use plants and trees, either in the foreground or background to add depth or frame a shot. I like the way they handled the ground/grass/stone area and really like the ivy on the walls.

There's one shot that I need to change on my 3D animatic, I'm going to use an over the shoulder shot when Rosa first looks at the fakes. That would set up the POV shots a little better and orient the viewer.

I'm working on leaves and mushrooms at the moment. Small modeling work that keeps me in Maya while enjoying the winter break. I might rework Dee a little I sketched out a cuter version of her that's a bit more stylized. We'll see if it works.
