The Darkness, an Interactive Story

The Darkness is an interactive experience based on "The Darkness" created by Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler) American writer known for the saga "A series of catastrophic misfortunes".

The Darkness, is a beatiful children's story considered one of the best of 2013 for 'Publishers Weekly' and 'The New York Times'. In it we follow the story of Laszlo, a child who is afraid of the dark and seeks to prevent it from visiting him unexpectedly.

The only characters are Laszlo and an old house that at the same time hides the true and silent secondary character: The Darkness

In this interactive story we will join Laszlo in a journey with a surprise visit from The Darkness.

And how Laszlo learns to overcome his own fear, discovers the light and meet The Darkness

The project of The Darkness is a final career project that I used to experience all those fields that interested me: the illustrations, the animations and the interactions of the character and the environment.

For this project I worked initially with the illustrations (characters, elements and environment) and setting of all the scenes in the story. Once the illustrations are done, we go through the animation process of the main character.

To create the interaction layer and facilitate the animation process I create the skeleton of the main character (rigging) and create the animation of elements which the user can interact with.

The interaction environment was made finally with Adobe DPS.

Hope you like it!

Thanks for watching.
