Leota

Production Design

Madame Leota is a character from Disney's Haunted Mansion. For my final major project at uni, I developed a short film story and the production design for it. The plot revolves around Leota's backstory as the local witch in the late 1800s and how her death leads to being stuck in a floating crystal ball. There are 3 major points to the design: Life, Death and AfterLife.

Leota is a beloved figure in her community but her witchcraft attracts too much attention and that gets her killed. She was known for helping everyone, so after her murder, she decides to make contact from the afterlife through the crystal ball in the (now) abandoned séance room. Leota's house gets a sinister makeover and we get to see how heaven looks like.
