For my project Daybreak I imagined the last remaining city would be highly congested with surviving generations. Like any society, there is a natural hierarchy, and in this one the common people are stuck on the lower levels in most parts of the city. Inhabitants compete to build their homes in prime spots that are linked to bridges and higher levels of the city.

This is another environment design for the short, dieselpunk inspired film I worked on a while back, and an homage to the great Victorian civil engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isambard_Kingdom_Brunel

Not my proudest lighting moment, but design wise, I achieved what I was after. The title comes from William Blake's poem Jerusalem. It was one of many sources of inspiration, chief among which, was an incredible passage from H.G Wells' book In The Days of the Comet. Unfortunately, ArtStation has a word limit in the description box, otherwise I would give it here. All I can do, is urge you to read the book. It may not be as well known as his War of the Worlds, or The Time Machine, but its easily his best. A more frank, honest description of the trials and tribulations of young manhood, you will never find
