"nightmare below 500 ft"

back | home | next

Text

"Nightmare Below 500 Ft" is a remake of the Twilight Zone episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Ft". The main inspiration for this idea was from the video games: Subnautica, Iron Lung, and Lethal Company.Instead of taking place in a plane above the skies, the setting is in an underwater submarine. A man inside helps navigate the ocean with his crew, only to be shocked from witnessing a giant sea monster that is breaking the sub. No one else sees the beast and he is forced to take matters into his own hands, or else they will all be crushed below 500 feet.

Thumbnails were made to help decide which moments of the story would be the best to make the final illustration for. The panels with a red dot next to it were the ones chosen.

In the original movie, the vehicle was a plane and the monster was a hairy gremlin that would be ripping apart the plane wing.For this story, it was changed into a submarine with an escape pod on the top. Its design was inspired by nuclear submarines, Subnautica, and the inside of the main pod in the Iron Lung. The main character is a simple guy in a blue uniform. His shirt is tucked in.

terminals and forget-me-nots

back | home | next

Text

Terminals and Forget-Me-Nots is an original project. It combines the famous myth of Hades and Persephone while adding a modern and personal cultural twist.In this world, there are two realms: the Overworld, where the humans are, and the Underworld, where the spirits reside. Chun Ah is unsatisfied with her life despite running a successful flower shop with her best friend Eunji. After hearing a legend about how a human can enter the Underworld by taking the bus to its last terminal on the final day of spring, Chun Ah gives it a go, not expecting to meet the Lord of Spirits on the same ride.

Text

Hades is based off of Gangcheori (강철이): a dragon shaped monster with an old saying that goes "Where Gangcheori goes it is like spring, even if it is fall". He is sunny, friendly, and very lonely.

Cerberus is a Gumiho (구미호): a nine tailed fox. She is prideful, lazy, and sly, but most importantly Lord Do Yun's best companion. She has a human form but tends to stay in her fox form.

The antagonist, rather than being Hades himself, is a separate character called the Cheonyeogwisin (처녀귀신). She tricks and manipulates Eunji, who encountered her on the train to find Chun Ah.

In Storyboard 1, we made three storyboards: What's in the Box?, an Advertisement, and Two Scenes back to back from a movie.The first story is about a girl who finds a box washed ashore. Unable to find out how to open it, she falls asleep as the moon shines a light over them and unlocking it. The second story is about the web-game "Town of Salem". In the third board, the movie I chose to go based off of a script only was Hoodwinked.

Orthodoxia is the final project for Inventive Costume. For seven weeks, we designed three characters from our story. The only requirements were that the ideas were one’s own and that each character had inspiration from a traditional outfit.Orthodoxia starts in the future after the birth of the Ethereal Horizon- an event that caused a rise of mysterious space entities to invade Earth. Humanity fell apart and the remainder are forced to fight to survive, joining together as the Bounty Hunter Guild. K28 and V19 meet and pursue on adventures with each other, while keeping their own goals close to their heart. However, both encounter the Grand Priest who asks questions about morals, humanity, and the price of learning forbidden knowledge.
