Cabin In The Woods

Cabin In The Woods -Elevators Holding Cells

Monstrous Slasher Designs

Elevator Monster Prison Cells!

Tasks

Design a monster prison cell that slides between each other and rotates. Actors escape the cell by climbing out the emergency hatch centered in the ceiling.

Process

I designed a large ring in the underside of the cell with teeth facing inward. Four small drives would rise up from the cell below, engage the large ring, and rotate it. This leaves the center of the cell wide open for the actors to escape.

Deliverables

I modeled my design in 3D and did an animation to share the design motion with Visual Effects.
