Description: This is my intermediate final project for Thinktank Training Centre, I am responsible for all aspects. My primary goal was to dive deeper into composition and look development, while also focusing on modeling. The Leica IIif Red Dial used by the Swedish army during WW2, became a focal point for my composition.
