THE FXWARS SHORT.... PREPRODUCTION ART...RESEARCH THREAD (post here your findings!)

#1

Well considering how SLOW the server is today, maybe I should give you all some homework.

On here are some details of the movie we are going all to be working on.

It is based on the 19th century, and on a ship.
I want you guys to do research, on:

[ul]
[li]19th Mid to late century ships, specially steam ships.[/li][li]19th Century Clothing (civilians, sailors & Navy)[/li][li]19th Century ports[/li][li]19th Century Hair styles[/li][li]19th Century Design elements.[/li][li]Paitings about the ocean, ports and sailing ships…[/li]
And for those who are interested in doing storyboards, look at movies like
Master & Commander, the Sea Hawk and even Pirates of the Caribbean.

Post here what you find.
