Falling: Short film inspired by Gustav Klimt paintings

I have made good progress on my short film. I am using the working title "Falling," and hopefully will come up with something better as I go along.

Here is my first storyboard:

the hard light of the sun casts a menacing shadow

{rotating camera angle}

{vertical letterbox to emphasize the drop}

{fish mobile inspired by Klee and Calder reference}

As she reaches deeper waters she starts to get cold

she notices the chill is affecting her skin...

it breaks apart in pieces

She continues to shiver and her skin breaks apart as she sinks

Her skin falls away to reveal her organic armature {inspired by Calder sculpture}

she sinks to the deepest part of the sea...

 

 

 

..charged with the electric jellyfish.

She finally comes to rest on the seabed among the jellyfish and seaweed. She has been through a lot, but with time, she adjust to her new environment:

Her wire body becomes home to algae, barnacles and seaweed...

And although she is not the same, she is happy flowing with the soft movement of the water.

But time has not been kind to the mechanical hand, who has rusted in the salty sea air...

... and is stuck forever as the same. 

The End
