Neil Gaiman's: Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains
An interesting project for the Radio Times to accompany the radio serialisation of Neil Gaiman's award winning novelette. Synopsis: The story is inspired by a Hebridean myth and was originally commissioned by the Sydney Opera House for the Graphic Festival. "Mystery, greed, deception, murder: these are the cogs that spin faultlessly throughout Neil Gaiman’s mesmerizing short: The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains. The story, which focuses on a dwarf in search for gold and his unlikely guide to the Black Mountains, Calum MacInnes, works on a disturbing psychological level.
Three alternative colour versions were experiemtned and presenrted.
The version with the dark blue background was preferred and this is how it was presented to the client.
Finally, a short 60 second video showing the key stages of the artwork render.
