An empty room is never just empty.

Rose Hicks from Alpha Chromatica proved that.

She took an abandoned space
and turned it into a moment from
The Last of Us universe.

She extended the set with intention:
Props pulled from the game’s world.
Plants that refuse to die, even in decay.
Furniture weathered by years of dripping water.
Dust catching light from a crack in the wall.

Every element earned its place.

It’s easy to keep adding.
Knowing when to stop is the harder skill.

Good compositing serves the story.
Every element matters. Every choice shows restraint.

Rose built this shot with both in mind.
