So, thought it'd be interesting to show you one of the ideas I concepted out but just didn't work for the film.
This idea was particularly meant as an addition to the whispering voices / anxiety attack in the first act. I thought it might be good to back-up the themes with cords wrapping around and restraining the hero in his own negativity. Very BDSM!
These are just some rough concepts to illustrate the idea but they never got past this initial phase. I see value in the idea but it just doesn't work so we move on. C'est la vie.
