A Sci-Fi Mythological Short Film - “THE MINOS PARADOX” – by Bruno CAILLOUX

Created almost entirely solo with Unreal Engine 5, The Minos Paradox is a cinematic short film that reimagines the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur through the lens of science fiction.
Each time Theseus touches a glowing sphere, he’s transported to a new era—a different piece of a spatio-dimensional labyrinth from which there is no escape.

A passion project made during spare time over more than a year – between cinema, mythology and game culture.

I learn a lot : Motion capture (Xsens, combat scene), Niagara Fluids, Chaos, Control Rig, Lighting, Sequencer, Fur Blender, Embergen VDB and more ^^
Some Assets customized and kitbashed from various marketplaces
I wanted a silent short film – made to be understood by everyone, beyond language
Powered by Unreal Engine 5.3

Team : :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
Original Music and Sound Effect : Tiernan PIROUE
Stunt Coodinator : Michel QUACH
Stunts : Michel QUACH (THESEUS) & Benoit LEGER (MINOTAUR)
Colorist : Coralie CHALON

I currently submitted it to festivals.

Hi there @kiroichii,

Hope you’re well and having a wonderful week so far :slight_smile:

This is so. darn. cool! The animation, quality of the character models, and environment design are all just incredible. I felt like I was watching a game trailer that I now really want to play :joy: Truly incredible work. Do you plan on creating more short films anytime soon?

Hi @PresumptivePanda ! Thx you so much for your comment :grinning_face: hehe! I don’t think I’ll make a game with this story but I’ll create more short film in the coming months/years for sure! You could watch another short on my YouTube page if you interested. :smiling_face:
