Madeleine Meow-Stories is a spec project in development. The stories revolve around a cat solving mysteries, so the sets needed to be both visually attractive and mysterious.
The charming interiors are framed by black silhouetted items, generating a voyeuristic space between the viewer and the environment.
The Fishing Girl character for this spec short needed to show a playful spirit, and wear items that could be used on land and in water.
After exploring her basic shape, she was put through various tasks to test her scale, how her accessories would be adjusted, and how she might need to move.
In this final design sheet, we studied how she might use her outer garment as a head piece when drying her hair, and how she would transition from water to land.
Designing a boat house element for a spec short.
The color and design emphasize a romanticized idea of boat living. Motifs like the scalloped shingling and the sting ray crest indicate an affinity for water life and creatures.
The interior is an idealized living space, with carefully assigned furniture for one occupant.
