I mentioned in my previous post that my idea was to create a piece based on the myth of Pandora's box, and do my own take on it. I intend to create a cute yet creepy stylised piece, featuring one main character and one room. It's going to include some 2D illustrated/narrated elements to open as well as the animated section. I'll be producing all my own character models and rigs.
So here's a brief summary of my story:
Pandora is going to be a young child, what wants to know everything. She has a burning curiosity and loves exploring places, seeking out hidden treasure or hidden passageways. One days she discovers an old mysterious looking chest which she tries to open, but she gets caught by her furious father who takes the chest to the attic and forbids her to ever go up there again. He also hides the key.
The short will open with Pandora stealing the key then venturing to the attic to open it.. As she is about to open the chest she starts to have second thoughts because she’s been forbidden to touch it and doesn’t want to get in trouble with her father. Sensing her doubt, the box shakes and curiosity gets the better of her so she unlocks it.
Not sure what to expect after the box moved Pandora is quite scared of what may come out, but is pleasantly surprised when a cute little dark creature swoops out past her. Laughing she attempts to catch it, turning her back on the box.
A large, dark form begins to grow from the box and the room gets darker. Alarmed by the change in light, Pandora turns around, but she is too late. The darkness is already upon her. Swooping down the dark form seizes Pandora and pulls her into the box, slamming it shut behind her.
The room returns to its original light and state, looking as though nothing had ever disturbed it. Frantic tapping sounds come from within the box with an occasional shake and a dark little creature is seen slinking away into the shadows.
After working on my storyboard I have since added an extra twist to the ending with the evil creature becoming Pandora. I really like this addition and I feel it resolves the story much better. There's also room for me to maybe make a 'Part 2' in the future answering the question of 'What happened to Pandora?

I've also produced modelling templates from my designs for Pandora, the box, the creature and the key. So far I've completed the box and key, may need a bit of tweaking later but not much.
Only thing left is texturing but I intend to tackle that when all the models are complete. I'll post some more design work soon along with my completed storyboard!
