One of the items included in the first year's issues of my magazine is the Horror Movie Franchise Discussion. This is a series of articles about horror movies with lots of sequels, especially the ones where the story continues from one film to the next. These articles have a half-page art piece included with them, that I have rendered, that are evocative of some part of the setting in the movies. It might be prevalent in all of the movies or something integral to the first movie that is key to the overall plot throughout. Rather than focus on copyrighted characters or scenes directly from the movie I have tried to capture the mood with location shots. Following another possible route I have made scenes based on the movie, like based on a true story types of images revolving around the movies.
The first of these discussions was about the Friday the 13th movie franchise. I have the full image in The Grotesquerie as "His Woods" because the woods around the camp are where most of the action takes place--at least since I have do not have an appropriate lake to make use of without creating one. A scene with cabins was likewise out, though more because of the space constraints within the article. It is a pretty simple shot. What is interesting about it is the black plants, though that has nothing to do with the movies it does give the image a certain feel. The viewer is left to wonder why are these plants dead and black? The honest answer is that is they way they turned out in the render. I do not know the cause. I just went with it rather than alter them in postproduction.
