The
challenge for the final scene in the story is portraying the villain
at the end. Unlike the Cthulhu mythos that Lovecraft developed, this
story doesn't explicitly describe that which terrorizes Zann. Given
this fact, I felt that it wasn't the visual of the monster that would
give the greatest impact, but rather the lack of a visual queue that
would be more frightening.
However,
at some late point in the production, I was still wondering how this
whole scene would be portrayed. I even considered that I might try to
incorporate a Japanese style ghost or monster from Edo era ukiyo-e
prints. But I wasn't going to be able to pull this off in the way
that I wanted, so that idea was aborted.
Instead,
I decided on a weird lens-flare effect. I hope it worked. In fact, I
am happy with the final shot in the animation.
