Earth vs' The Flying Saucers
DVD Key Art 2002 for the 1956 Film Re-Release
Columbia Tri-Star Home Video via BLT and Associates Home Entertainment. Art Director: n/a. Project Date: Christmas 2001.
Almost a decade back now I had my very first Key Art finish for for a DVD cover at BLT for Earth vs' The Flying Saucers, a re-release of the 1956 Classic B-n-W Sci Fi flic.
I built out a street scene for the cover that was to be covered in people fleeing for their lives. I was to do this art in Black and White, and I rendered to have some grain similar to 50's era footage with grain etc.
I built out the city which was straight forward, then I found photo reference using Google, of the Saucer online and built that out using the traditional modeling method, though today I'd go Sub-D with a smooth.
I also built out the blocky robot designs from the film and put them all together for the finals. I rendered some overhead shots to show how my Set-Design and Miniature experience plays into a scene like this. All the detail is up from with blocked in shapes as we go farther back from camera.
Also as with all Home Entertainment jobs , the budgets are tiny so you have to work very quickly. Just over a day of work , plus the final render a month after was all it took to finish this job out.
