My Involvement
I Designed the painted style of the backgrounds for Esme & Roy with regards to lighting, technique and colours which were then revised according to notes from Sesame Workshop.
For Esme & Roy, I got to spend some extra hours outside of my normal work hours to do a style test for how the production crew might want the show to look. I loved just having fun and trying to meld the character designs and colour with different types of backgrounds. These are what I came up with as my final interior and exterior paintings. Unfortunately due to unforeseen personal circumstances, I could not go onto this production as I would have loved to.
