Taken from the script:
"Half of it was bright summertime and the other half gloomy winter. One side grew the prettiest flowers, but on the other everything was dead and buried in snow.
'What a blessing!' he (the father) said to his servant, and ordered him to pick a rose from the beautiful rose bush there.
But then, as they were riding away, a ferocious lion leapt out."
Initial concept design
Idea for floor design - printed flower/foliage textures painted on to symbolise garden plants?
Details: Gigantic bush as a back-setting for garden with a gate opening reflecting the entrance from the castle to the garden. Through the gate bears a gigantic lion's tail in which it peters out to form the 'rose bush' on the summertime side of the garden. Originally I had thought of putting a elegant water fountain in the middle to form a divide between the two settings (bright summertime and gloomy winter). But then to keep to tune with this particular genre of horror/surrealism I thought a gargoyle type statue of the lion itself would give a more coherent set piece for this scene.
