The artwork above is based on <a href="http://rauchbros.tumblr.com/post/41367897427/in-preparation-for-eyes-on-the-stars-a" title="Lake City reference photos">the reference photos we gathered on our research trip</a>. The rough and final storyboard art is by <a href="http://stephendestefano.tumblr.com/" title="Stephen DeStefano Tumblr">Stephen DeStefano</a> and the background painting is by <a href="http://madaboutcartoons.blogspot.com/" title="Bill Wray blog">Bill Wray</a>.</p> <p>The scene takes only about 20 seconds, but we wanted to give the feeling that this was a long journey and involved some courage and fearlessness on Ron’s part. To communicate a greater passage of time, the colors shift from sunrise to daylight. We used the railroad tracks to create a foreboding environment that would illustrate Ron’s bravery as he passes boldly through. <span>Finally, as Ron reaches the library where he is not allowed, he passes a stop sign, which serves as a visual cue that he is not supposed to go beyond this point.</span></p> <p><span>Visiting Lake City, SC and talking with Ron’s brother Carl was a key part of coming up with these ideas. For instance, we wouldn’t have known that there were railroad tracks that separated the black and white sections of town. As a result, the story opens on a rich scene with real-life details that serve as metaphors for the racial divide Ron McNair had to overcome and help introduce his courageous, pioneering character.</span></p> </blockquote>http://stephendestefano.tumblr.com/post/41636852657http://stephendestefano.tumblr.com/post/41636852657Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:48:03 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/384c5d36cea17c61bd202b96ee5e1f73/tumblr_mhaxob02Kt1qmbdr9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Unused design.
