BELIEF

-

Belief explores cinematic storytelling through a sequence of narrative keyframes, following the visual language of a fictional feature film. Set in an original dark fantasy universe inspired by biblical mythology, the story reimagines the eternal conflict between angels and demons as an ancient ritual unfolds. Through composition, pacing, and carefully staged reveals, the project focuses on building tension, scale, and narrative clarity without relying on animation or dialogue.

- How can a complete cinematic sequence build suspense, scale, and narrative clarity using only a series of still images?

finals

-

"And it came to pass in the year of the lord one thousand four hundred and ten, after the rising again of the second King Harald, that the demons waxed mighty, and none could withstand them. And our only refuge was to cry unto the angel Gabriela, that she might succour us. And we sought to call her forth, though the cost was cruel. For she alone could bestow upon the chosen one the weapon he needed to deliver us all from perdition."

Book of the Unkown, 12:7-12
