Behold: The epic[ish] conclusion and recap!
This was actually the first basic concept that solidified in the brainstorming process, as well as the first set-up we did.
Since I knew we'd be shooting in an abandoned area, I thought of how to use the space for "earth," even if now, I realize it would've been a ton easier (and made a lot more sense) if we'd just gone out and shot in the woods somewhere. Ha. Groundbreaking, I know. But at the time, considering my surroundings, I loved the idea of the outside growing in.
And there ya have it. Here's Earth!....and Air, and Fire, and Water.

"...as the editing progressed, I loved even more the idea of a "Tree of Life" in the midst of dead surroundings."
And there ya have it. Here's Earth!....and Air, and Fire, and Water.
