La Cage - first Storyboard version
One of the first storyboard I did for the short La Cage (supinfocom Rubika - 2023). The story follows a young depressed woman, anxious to get out of her cluttered apartment to see the sun again. Reworked later with fewer details and a clear storyline.
Maelys is washing her hands, she then take her pills and leave a note on the mirror.
Maelys goes back to her room, leaving behind a strange shadow in her reflection. Her room is cluttered, she has trouble breathing and the furniture seems to distort around her.
She takes a breather at the window and decide to go on the roof. She writes her decision on a post it she leaves on the door. The strange shadow distort the door behind her.
Maelys is waiting in front of the elevator. It starts to malfunction and is covered in black. She runs away while the stair case gets warped behind her
The distortion is spreading, she has trouble breathing.

The strange shadow appears again and stops her. Maelys runs away, the exit door leads to an even worse place filled with stairs.
Maelys runs avay and try to find an exit
She notices a ladder and start to climb, but the black shadow is uppon her.
Maelys escapes, but where she goes the shadow follows, the wole sky is one giant window filled with dark figures. The edge of the bulding leads to a drop at the center of yet another staircase.
The rail snaps back in place behind her and her shadow tries to push her towards the fall. Maelys' mother calls her, she notices a door in the distance behind her, covered in post its.
Maelyss fights back and escapes trough the door.
She is finally outside.
