This was really cool! it actually left me feeling disturbed after watching it! loved that you also did a story board as well, your cinematic was so well paced
Thanks so much! That storyboard helped a ton, took only about an hour or two, and despite some changes I’m sure it saved me days of not mucking around with cam animations and kept me on track building only what I could see.
You play with forbidden music. The way you chose her die is very sad. This is because you cut ended nihilistically with no optimistic story after, and with a touch of sad piano. Nihilism is tempting to believe, but unreal…to give a more cheery note. Leave Soho.
Trashed is so dark and macabre! This reminds me of nightmares when a menacing figure is chasing you, and as fast as you try to run away, you can’t move. I recently came across a news story where a sanitation worker picked up a large garbage can getting ready to dump it into the rear of the truck. As the lid opened, the worker saw a young woman inside of it. Thankfully, she was alive, but she could’ve easily met a different fate.
In just 1 minute, you’ve managed to create a strong narrative, and the intended feelings of claustrophobia, panic, and hopelessness manifested wickedly through the screen. Thank you for sharing your inspiration images and your storyboard. It’s great to see how your cinematic builds.
Phenomenal cinematography, by the way. I caught the Creep It Real Easter egg at the opening scene. Bravo and kudos for a project well done!
