STORYBOARDS

MONSTER IN THE HALLS

A struggling student named Xavier longs for something more extraordinary than high school – and the catalyst for change arrives as a vicious monster!

Made for WIA's Fall 2023 Mentorship program, in which a team of 10 artists completed the pre-vis stage for a script that I wrote! I contributed the following animatics in addition to my primary roles as lead writer and co-producer.

Scene 1 – Xavier prepares to deliver the final blow, but they're met with an unexpected new adversary.

Scene 2 – Xavier leaves their exam in frustration, but finds a silver lining right around the corner.
