March MMC 09- Spooky Dreams // Work in Progress 1  |   Order by default Post by Steinie // Mar 25, 2009, 2:36pm Steinie Total Posts: 3667 The thought process behind "Spooky Dreams" Unlike my Day Dreams which happen in realtime clarity my Spooky Dreams are blurry dark images recalled from memory. They don't have a focus point and the shadows are dark and mysterious. Post by Steinie // Mar 25, 2009, 2:44pm Steinie Total Posts: 3667 I wanted to create a sense of depth so I place a plane vertically within the scene and angled away from the camera so that no shadows or reflections appeared on the plane. By adjusting the amount of the transparency I could create the illusion of greater distances. By making distant objects lighter and out of focus the eye and brain are fooled.

Multiple planes could have been used if there had been more objects behind like a mountain for instance.
