Here is another lighting key I did for the film. In this scene Joaquin proposes to Maria, a gesture that forces Maria to either be true to her own heart or to save the town she loves.
The environment, color, and lighting was designed to reflect Maria’s inner turmoil in the scene. Much like her inner state, these components are a stark contrast to the otherwise vibrant festive environments in the film and references the same visual language designed for The Land of the Remembered.
