The Threshold | Love Death and Robots style short-story

Hi everyone, I can finally share the first teaser trailer for The Threshold, a 15-minute short film made in Unreal Engine 5.2.

We made this with a small team of 4 (1 environment artist, 1 animator, 1 composer, and me taking care of direction, cinematography, and other generalist tasks).

I have created an [Art Station page]
(ArtStation - The Threshold | Teaser Trailer) where you can find some screenshots of the process.

We expect to release more content over the coming months/year and slowly build an audience, to ultimately start a crowdfunding campaign at some point next year.

The project has a website, where you can also sign up to the mailing list and get updates regarding new trailers and content.

Hope you like it.

Hi there @grossimatte !

I absolutely adore this trailer! The little peeks we’re getting into this short film is giving me sort of Cabin in the Woods vibes which I adore. It’s very eerie with the creature sounds at the very end being a little ambiguous and the way the character reacts paints more questions!

I love the suspense and curiosity your trailer leaves and cannot wait to see what lies ahead in The Threshold!

I loved absolutely everything about it! The dynamics of the trailer, the color correction, the character animation, the location… The only thing that was a little frustrating was that it will be a movie and not a game to play! :grinning: Reminds me of “The Quarry”, and I would have loved to play The Threshold as a standalone interactive video game…

Good luck with the project! (subscribed to the newsletter)

Thanks for subscribing!

To be honest, we always thought about this project as a potential interactive videogame, such as The Quarry. I used to work at Supermassive Games (Little Hope, House of Ashes), and i have always been a big fan of Interactive Cinematic games, so, never say never! :slight_smile:

Hi there @grossimatte,

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

I absolutely adore this trailer. It wasn’t overly long or flashy or filled with spoilers - just an incredibly well done horror teaser. I can’t wait to see the full film :smiley:
