Sculptors' Courtyard

Cinematic work by Urim Osmani.

The environment:

Late 19th Century, Spain. The royal palace of Mondragón, built in the 14th century, is now home of an art school. The sculptors live there and they're using the courtyard to master their craft. The environment is filled with their artworks, tools and materials while full of lush foliage and overlooks the breathtaking vista of Spanish countryside.

Sculptor's Courtyard is our last group project at Escape Studios, London and was mentored by Simon Payne and Andrew Oakley from Creative Assembly. Our aim was to create a lush, bright environment that's based on strong architectural references and filled with diegetic storytelling.

The project took 12 weeks in total with a team of 9.
