What is sleep paralysis
“Sleep paralysis is a feeling of being conscious but unable to move. It occurs when a person passes between stages of wakefulness and sleep. During these transitions, you may be unable to move or speak for a few seconds up to a few minutes. Some people may also feel pressure or a sense of choking”
I have had sleep paralysis before so I have experienced some of these symptoms once I was in the state of paralysis, I will be listing some things that happened to me.
Symptoms of sleep paralysis

Wendigo
the creatures that will be in are 360 videos is called a wendigo
“The wendigo (/ˈwɛndɪɡoʊ/) (also wetiko) is a mythological man-eating creature or evil spirit from the folklore of the First Nations Algonquian tribes based in the northern forests of Nova Scotia, the East Coast of Canada, and Great Lakes Region of Canada”
The Wendigo is a perfect match for our creature that will be used as the Demon possessing the victim as they are going through sleep paralysis. The reason why we chose the wendigo it’s because it has a terrifying face that makes it look scarier, also they are not real so recreating a Wendigo Would look cool and would stray away from the normal ghost or Demon we see in sleep paralysis documentaries.

What is 360 videos
“360-degree videos are videos that place you in the director’s chair of a cinematic experience and let you look in any direction you choose. Unlike traditional fixed-frame videos, which limit your view to wherever the camera is pointing, 360-degree videos offer a full 360º x 180º panoramic field of view – placing you in the center of the action, completely surrounded by sights and sounds. They let you look up, down, and all around so you can explore a scene from any perspective you choose.”
