CoP practice: Idea generation part 2

After I thought of what specifically what I wanted to do for practice part of the essay I looked into some art work for inspiration. I was looking for artwork featuring factories and preferably black and white. Stylistically wanted to got for a pretty simple tone based background design, mainly with grey and red colours. So I made a mood board:

After I went through the mood board I made a sketch to try our an idea I had of making environments using only tones:

And then did a quick colour test:

Also made a few sketches for the animation itself:

As soon as I edited the music I figured there was no real need for an animatic because it would be synchronised with the music anyway and it would be the camera panning through various backgrounds, so i decided to to just get on with making the backgrounds.
