Mother 3 Tribute: Chimera Lab

The Chimera Lab was the scariest environment we made for Mother 3 Tribute. Tensions are high as an "Ultimate Chimera" comes to attack our protagonist, Lucas, and his dog, Boney. We decided to lean into the horror element a bit more than was originally in the scene back on GBA. The first step in doing so was to create an arrangement of Chimera, each creepier than the last. Fill the lab with red hazard lights and a hazy ambience and let the actors do the rest. We were particularly happy with the level of realism this diorama was able to maintain in its materials and Depth of Field. Selling the realness of the scene is what made it especially scary.
