Jekyll & Hyde

Set in 1890's London, "Jekyll & Hyde" is a dark, atmospheric reimagining that explores the duality of human nature through a cinematic lens. To capture the story’s unsettling tone, I leaned into a palette of muted cool tones, deep shadows, and textured fabrics that evolve alongside the characters. Throughout the film, design elements reflect the growing divide between Jekyll and Hyde, most notably through the use of moiré patterns that become increasingly chaotic, visualizing Jekyll’s descent into madness and the split within his identity.

The contrast between characters is further emphasized through color and silhouette: the Board of Governors in icy blues, greens, and sleek blacks to convey wealth and detachment, while the Red Rat Dregs are defined by warmer tones and raw, layered textures that highlight their grit and humanity. Emma stands as a visual anchor of light, her soft purples and floral details gradually darkening and decaying as her hope fades. Across every setting, I aimed for my design work to uncover themes of class division, illusion, and the fragile boundary between good and evil, revealing a world where identity is constantly shifting and nothing is as it seems.
