The Other Side, Preproduction

Mood boards I created to help me with designs for my story concept which will contain monsters and a sandy wasteland:

- Monster mood board

- Desert/Wasteland mood board



Story Concept:

I started of linking the title 'The Other Side' with multiple concepts such as separation, future, another world, etc. Through this I decided to focus on the concept of a dream world which has the main character question his reality. This is due to his dreams feeling too real and having a physical effect on his normal human body. I want this to relate to how most people, when asleep, can't tell that their dreams aren't reality.


Without context I hope this makes the audience at least perceive that my main character is experiencing two different worlds, i.e. when he is on Earth and the world he visits when he falls asleep. Also, how they interpret it as 'The Other Side', e.g. a world on the other side of the galaxy.


Character and Monsters concept designs:



The main character he two different forms. his normal human form when he is awake and his monster form when he is asleep. On the left are my concepts of how I want his different forms to appear.



For the monsters I wanted them to appear twisted and/or bizarre hence the choice of images for my monster mood board. The board consists of creatures from Berserk, Parasyte, One Punch Man and an artist called Don Ken. On the left are my concepts of how I wanted the monsters that appear in my story to look.
