Concept model used to figure out lighting and framing
In my last semester of school I started working on a cabin-in-the-woods style horror film with my brother, Josh Holland.

I incorporated the visual preparation for Malignance into a project for a Visual Storytelling class instructed by Chrystene Ells. Chrystene taught me a number of ways to build intensity in the story through the images.
The final result was turned into this animatic:
