Pride & Prejudice

Although it was cut from the final script of Joe Wright's Pride and Prejudice, the Lucas' Drawing Room was initially the setting of a pivotal moment in the original screenplay. This design project portrays the set as it was described in the script while taking inspiration from the film itself in terms of aesthetic and tone.

The Spinning Jester Café

Inspired by the iconic tea cup rides found at circuses around the world as well as depictions of jesters in Medieval era artwork, this concept for animation combines modern day circus architecture with the iconography of the Middle Ages. The result is an entirely unique coffee shop for both clowns and jesters to enjoy.
