Houses and exteriors, from sketches to final sets - Planning

This image on the right is the sole example from the storyboard, and therefore the starting point for the "curved sets" in the animatic. Still, apart from one interior conceived in forced perspective (and one more as an alternate variation of another), I made only this four exteriors with intention to be curved, or, let's say - non-realistic. But apart from the ones with the plane, the North Pole and the Globe shots, remaining two could easily be interpreted, or confused as realistic. It wasn't enough, I needed more exaggerations. What I really needed, was a plan...
I made this chart on the below right to compare simple compositions of main shots. I became aware of the harsh reality that most of the shots in this short film of mine are about to be prevalently flat and non cartoon-like. I could choose if I should make everything more straight and reality-based (and forget about the North Pole and Globe shots), or should I force the "distorted" concept, instead? But, there wasn't really a choice, the animatic cut answered that question, long before the problem popped up. So, I started to "force" the sets, the houses, everything I could. Some sets that I have originally planned as simple improvisations, I had to re-think and plan them all over. More sketches, more 3D simulations.
