More look development! I’ve been testing shaders and some light setup…this is somewhat the style I’m leaning towards for the rest of the film.

Mock cover for Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer (sorry but the current cover is atrocious). For anyone who is interested in learning more about where their typical meat comes from and the current state of the American food industry, I'd highly suggest reading this. As a vegetarian, I wish I could give this to anyone who asks me why I choose not to eat meat; and honestly hope those who are less knowledgeable about the topic will consider opening their eyes to the greater issues involved with meat consumption. Not only does Safran Foer introduce the novel with his own struggle on keeping vegetarianism, he is able to maintain a non-bias perspective and provide equal accounts from both sides of various issues involving factory farming, husbandry, and other environmental, economical, and human health concerns. 

Seriously go out and buy it, read it, and pass it along to as many people as possible. Animal/environmental/ethical rant done.
