Initial Inspiration
Firstly I was inspired by what has been described as the greatest horror film of all time, The Shining, where the scene where blood gushes out of the lift door at the end of the corridor made such an impression on me that I decided to use it as a reference for creating a virtual world scene.

Story line
the camera looks down the corridor, looks around as it moves, the wind blows the curtains, thunder at the same time, torches flicker, halfway down the corridor looking down at the life preserver floating on the water, and finally at the end of the corridor.
