Setting the Stage

February 15, 2012

Before we dive into the characters of Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker, let’s set the stage a bit. The artworks depicted in this set of images lay down the groundwork for various locations in the movie. To create a believable scene, a good understanding of the space that characters have to work within must be established. As you can see, the director has mapped out floor plans and interiors utilizing some real world elements to create the scenes.
