Eclipse

Eclipse is a dark cinematic short that blends thriller and horror in a gritty pirate setting. The story follows Pirate Earl as he realizes, too late, that his crew is being hunted by a silent, deadly figure. One by one, the screams fade - until only he remains. Amid strange feathers falling from the sky and a violent bird attack, Earl glimpses the figure behind the chaos: Eclipse. The project was created in Unreal Engine 5.5 using Lumen. Metahumans were used for the characters. Previsualization was done directly in Unreal for rapid iteration. The feather and acid FX were created in Houdini.
