THE MONSTER UNDER YOUR BED

A themed attraction concept focused on creating a surreal and immersive experience. The journey begins in a child’s bedroom, where visitors are introduced to the lurking monster under the bed. From there, they are transported beneath the bed, entering a dreamlike world filled with oversized objects that distort their sense of scale and reality. The design emphasizes atmospheric storytelling, blending the familiar with the bizarre to evoke both fear and wonder.

INSPIRATION

For my first storyboarding project, I wanted to draw my inspiration from classic Western movie soundtracks. Since I have never seen "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", I thought it would be interesting to develop my own story idea just by listening to its “The Ecstasy of Gold” movie score. I’ve enjoyed this approach to writing, and have multiple other story ideas that correlate with music in similar ways.

STORYBOARDING

I wanted to capture the intensity of the story by keeping the art in tight frames and using small lettering, forcing the reader to focus on each frame.
