Motion + illustration | Based in LA.I like stories that are a little offbeat, but still hit home.
This storyboard is inspired by Kafka’s Metamorphosis through the journey of Gregors, a beetle who longs to become human. Set in a surreal school environment, the story explores themes of identity, alienation, and transformation with a satirical twist.
I used warped perspectives, dramatic lighting and controlled composition. Harsh contrasts and directional shadows were used to externalize feelings of isolation and scrutiny, while tight, off-centered framing heightened discomfort and psychological tension. By carefully adjusting each frame’s visual weight and perspective, I aimed to let Gregor’s internal struggle unfold without words—purely through atmosphere.
