Up for you to decide! I do write down narratives and briefs for these worlds when I make them but I usually tend not to share them - I really just think itโ€™s much more interesting to let everyone imagine their own narratives. Everyone gets their own mind movie ๐Ÿ˜

One of the set designs I worked on from Quiet Place: Day One. This image was used in an ILM article you can find below. This image was one of many that we used to develop this location - hopefully one day I can show the rest!
