My task was to communicate with the directors of this short film and translate their script and vision into 18 pages of storyboards. I was given 4.5 days to produce these. Two additional referencing sketches were produced as well.

The story ( at least the one I am provided ) in short sets itself in a dystopian world where the protagonist gets hired as a video editor and gets locked up in a cave-like room for 48 hours to edit a movie for the director. He is provided with a cord connecting to an AI entity called 'The Vulture' and it tries to dictate the direction and change the edits on its own, at one point it drags the protagonist into a desert hellscape where he struggles to move and breath. He eventually finds his way removing the cord secretly attached to his neck and also finishes the edit without the help of AI on time. Quite a trippy script.
