So, I recently found this in an old sketchbook of mine: an early concept I made for the layout of Clearwood (the small, woodsy town the film takes place in).
Take a look (click for larger view):
I'm guessing I made this around 2009-10, a few years before I finished the final draft of the script. During this version, the town actually bordered an ocean on two sides (note the lighthouse and boat docks at the bottom), as opposed to its current version, which is now completely surrounded by thick woods on all sides.
In that same sketchpad, I also found the earliest known concept I made for the film (very similar to the poster concept you see in the background right now), but I'll save that for a later post chronicling the evolution of the film's poster (when I finally have the real "live-action" one available).
Anyway, that's all for now!
