Haunted Mansion (2022) - Floating Graveyard Finale Keyframes

Some work I did during a brief post-production stint on Disney's Haunted Mansion for Production Designer Darren Gilford. I was tasked with visualizing the floating chunk of graveyard levitated by ghosts upon which the final confrontation with Hatbox Ghost takes place. As usual I started with a few quick studies, settling on one image to refine. I got a lot of pleasure putting some character into each ghost and how they would be pushing against the stone. Ultimately I had to repaint the image over the actual footage from principle photography as a guide for VFX.
