Description Credit to the late Elliot Scott, production artist for Labyrinth.

This is a panoramic view of the fantasy ballroom scene, based of the actual concept art. I saw it on an old documentary of the film's production posted on youtube. And I've got to say that you won't appreciate a Henson film nearly as much as when you see how much care and detail everyone involved put into the films.

The original was pretty grainy on Youtube, so I made my best guess, trying to convey the theme of mirrors, chandeliers and large platforms/pillars.
Jareth and Sarah in the center was all me.

So there you are, a part of Labyrinth that you knew existed, probably, because there were ballroom dancer and party-goers filling up every scene. I know I was surprised.

PS: Elliot Scott is so awesome, if anyone would help me with finding his work I would be so happy. I found out first hand how underappreciated production art really is, because you can't really find anything from searching on the internet.

I recently watched the anniversary dvd and seeing the ballroom scene allowed me to notice a lot of the details like this amazing artwork shows! Yay!

Well designed production art ALWAYS gets me in my guts. Sometimes it's so beautiful, I'm moved to tears.

Very well in done. If you buy the DVD, the making-of documentary is on there (I believe it is a special feature on almost all) and we see a lot of the ballroom. You did wonderful

You're right, I'll have to concentrate on that material if I make another Labyrinth work.
