INTO THE GREY

This capstone project is an exploration of how a concept album could be developed through environmental world-building, existing as a fully realized space across music videos, live performance, and interactive fan experiences. The referenced material and story is The Death of Peace of Mind by Bad Omens, which expands into the band's Concrete Jungle comic series and accompanying soundtrack. While the original universe is futuristic, cyberpunk, and dystopian in visual aesthetic, I set out to interpret it through a dark fantasy lens and timeline, translating its emotional themes, narrative, and tone into a medieval setting.

My inspiration derives from observation of what is currently achievable in music video production and live entertainment, particularly when artists invest in practical, dimensional sets enhanced by digital visual effects. This project serves to establish an environmental framework for music video sets that could be adapted into stage designs and fan experiences, alongside supporting assets such as costuming guides and merchandise visuals.
