In an industrious English town, the pets of local residents are regularly going missing. Whilst there is no
evidence to suggest this, it is commonly believed that Ghastly Child from No. 6 has something to do with it.
Something particularly sordid and unsavoury.
Although the reality is all the more unexpected.
As well as the local pets, Franklin takes regular deliveries from various pet shops to help sustain his pastime.
Refusing to conform to the expectations of his neighbours, Franklin uses these animals not as a means of
morbid gratification, but to help hone his craft as an enterprising beautician.
Character Development

Franklins appearance
transitioned dramatically over
the development period. What
started out as quite soft and
illustrative gradually became
darker, more realistic and robust,
reminiscent of paper dolls and
fashion illustration.

I wanted to determine a
distinct contrast between the
tone of the first act and the
second. Franklin is meant to
appear unsettling in act one, but
menacing in act two.
To imply this, I experimented
with drastic lighting options,
taking considerable inuences
from directors such as Dario
Argento in order to establish
this vivid, yet menacing
atmosphere.
