Introduction

There are 9 creative concepts as of 2026 that seek to examine the changing character of spectatorship, and thought in cinema. These concepts vary across what can be though of as film genre, format (some are television series, or interactive graphic novels) and structure (non linear, experimental and traditional storybeats)

All of the concepts presented here are more than a typical logline, synopsis or treatment. They are 'augmented' treatments that include imagery, video, foley/sound and musical prototypes. I have used hand-drawn methods such as sketching/storyboarding, as well live action filming on digital, on Super 8 and some stop motion animation.

Much of the material are developed with the assistance of GenAI and i've given indications of which engine and types of prompts where that has been note-able.

I have also used the format of the web platform that I am publishing on as a mechanism of the creative concept also, and as such the layout, animations, paginations etc of this website form a intentional container for the presentation of the ideas therewithin.

From here visitors may explore the creative concepts. over the course of the Phd, i will likely develop 2 concepts fully for the web, and hopefully with funding one for a full length prototype.

The 10 part series is based around a struggle between two timeless, feuding serpentine spirits know as Vouivre; the noble Melusine and the evil Oberon Drant. Each aim to obtain possession of the Cul, intertwined rings, a magical object of limitless power. The Cul actually belonged to Melusine, but it was stolen by Drant who used his own magic to send it through time and space so that Melusine would not be able to find it. Without the power of the Cul, Melusine would ultimately die. Drant can hasten this by using it to destroy hope in our world. The 20th Century looks like a good target
A body is found on the floor of a museum. The victim has been thought to have been murdered. The victim's body lies in a salon of a museum with no possible way to have been placed there.

Henri, the protégé, after some fruitless leads, begins hunting around the museum, and discovers that the improbable is possible, where the lines between our world and the world of Art are blurred.
