The Dark Crystal: VisDev & Storyboards
Based on Jim Henson's "The Dark Crystal," I experimented with how to adapt the setting and characters into a 2D animated series using digital puppetry. Taking place long before the events of "The Age of Resistance," this series focuses primarily on the skeksis and examines their disturbing society from an insider’s viewpoint.
Logline:
After he receives a prophetic vision of the world's destruction at his own hands, the fearsome warlord—skekGra, the Conqueror—must put his long and sordid past behind him, restore balance to the world of Thra…and find love while doing it!
The story, Visions of Thra, is a 2D animated miniseries told in 9 episodes. It takes the darkness of animations like the Secret of NIMH, or Nightmare Before Christmas and pairs it with the edge and humor of K-Pop Demon Hunters and Nimona. Thematically, it’s about rejecting social hierarchies, overcoming shame, and standing up for your convictions…no matter the cost. It’s got action! It’s got forbidden romance! It’s got puppets and…lots of Mongolian throat singing?
