Concept Approach

I wanted this show to have a mysterious magical feel. Obviously, we are on an island, so I wanted to utilize blue and greens to provide an island vibe. The blue was very unsaturated until Prospera activated the magical powers she wields. I also wanted to use shadows during the magical moments to really give the audience a feeling of unnaturalism that would enhance the magical-ness of this island.
