Premise: Character and World Mind-Maps



After watching a bunch of animated shorts, I decided to start making these mood-boards to get a better idea of what I want my story to be as well as the character that in habits it. To make the story and the character physically tell the story rather than using dialogue I'm leaning more towards the idea of the character and the room being new, so maybe the character moves around and so they are used to being in new rooms, but not sleeping in them, so the room and the character both have a strong personality, either with the room being old and previously inhabited or new and barren, which I will expand more when I come up with the story for the project, but so far I am leaning on those two ideas, because it allows me to be more creative with the character design and explore colour and lighting in the environment design as well.

For the story concept, as I did with coming up with the basis for this concept, I think I will write a long version and condense it down, just so I can get a better idea for what I like and then, if the short ideas doesn't work I still have a template to use to create a new one. I think the long version will explore the character and how they got to being in the bedroom, while the short version will explore the room and the things that occur in it overnight.
