In the 21st century, situation takes a turn for the worse. Civilization is crumbling, the Earth is dying. In 2060, United Nations sends a colony ship - U.N.S. Unity - to a newly discovered planet orbiting Alpha Centauri’s primary star.
Among the small group of colonists to leave the ravages of Earth is Prokhor Zakharov, a brilliant scientist desperate to flee the chaos of his motherworld to start anew beneath an alien sky.
This is his story.
Hi everyone!
A huge fan of Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri game, I’ve made this short film to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
It was done entirely in my gradually diminishing free time 
I hope you’ll enjoy the film (and if you’re a fan of Civilization/Alpha Centauri games, have a field day catching the references) 
The film was rendered in Unreal Engine 5 and Blender’s Cycles. Characters were custom made, then turned into MetaHumans for further customization, animation and rendering. Animation is a mix of motion capture, performance capture, and keyframe animation.
I have done all of the layout, lighting, compositing, and animation work, as well as majority of the modeling.
Here’s a couple of screens, for more, there’s this ArtStation post:
