We want to take a moment and thank you all for the overwhelming support and the amazing feedback. A special shoutout to BRÍG CREATIVE and Altrusian Grace Media for partnering with us on this project. We are planning to release the next episode in a few weeks and we are also working on other surprise content. You are all awesome and your amazing support is the fuel to our creativity!

The pleasure is all ours! ;) Thank you for your trust!

[@bearnottheblues5222]

Wow, just enough frames to nudge viewers to fill in the blanks with comfort. This is the first piece of work using such technique I've ever seen. Usually this is used in writing but it feels so different used in animation! Amazing work!

[@foghornproductions1101]

@@bearnottheblues5222 We are very happy that you enjoyed it! Our next episode is almost done. If you enjoy this type of stuff, you can check out BRIGCREATIVE for more content made with this type of technique. Thanks!

[@Pelmeshaa]

Hi! Fantastic work, I love it. I'm engaged in voice over. Can I voice it and next episodes with team??

[@Cutter_Number_30]

The lighting of their helmets is unreal. I absolutely love the shot of them looking down the passage and also of their eyes in the dark. Can't wait for more.

[@foghornproductions1101]

Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed it. Next episode is on its way!

[@titansedge6205]

Beautiful art and creepy atmosphere. I especiially like how you didn't show too much of the monster and let the characters' actions show how powerful that creature is. I suspect, with the scene of the birth and mention of "the gate" that this is going to have some similarities with "The Dunwich Horror".

[@foghornproductions1101]

We appreciate the feedback, more content to come soon.

[@donathon7303]

Actually that I'd love to see.... remember that the birds didn't get the creature at the college

[@RecoveryAccount-pb6pj]

Exactly its more of the atmosphere that makes these short films a perfect 10/10

[@bloodmooncomics2249]

I love when KZbin noticing I am watching a certain genre for an hour and sends me to these channels. I doubt I would have found this if KZbin did not recommend it and it is really good.

[@foghornproductions1101]

We are happy that you enjoyed it! We will be releasing the second episode soon. Thanks for your feedback!

[@nantu07]

As an avid connoisseur of Cosmic Horror, Ambient and Dark Ambient music I have to say the soundtrack is amazingly chosen!

[@foghornproductions1101]

Thank you! We appreciate the support!

[@igorlukyan206]

Looks like that one episode from love death and robots really took inspiration from HP Lovecraft. Forgot what the episode is called but in the second season a team of US soldiers in the mountains of Afghanistan came across an eldritch horror. Only one managed to escape but she had to remove her eyes and ears

[@foghornproductions1101]

Funny enough, we were still working on this episode when that was released on Netflix and we really couldn't believe the coincidence as one of our friends told us about the episode. Luckily this is part of a mini series that we will release so I am sure the similarities will end here. Our second episode is almost ready for release now. 😀

[@succubasu]

Always love and appreciate pieces made with Lovecraft inspiration!! Beautifully drawn and the voice work is pretty good. Can't wait to see more!!

[@foghornproductions1101]

Being H.P. Lovecraft fans ourselves: this feedback is the reason why we have started this small project! We plan to release the next episode towards the end of the month, we really hope you will enjoy it. Thanks a lot!

[@ghoulishgoober3122]

6:26 gives me the same kind of feeling as the end of this Lovecraftian horror novel I read I think could maybe be useful to you creatively: "The [submarine] surfaced. The Heavens flinched. The hatch swung open. Moonlight fell upon its darkest cargo. What shambled forth was unspeakable." End of novel. This novel managed to make a pair of eldritch gods called "The Fig Men" genuinely terrifying ("There's no monsters, Zach, they're just figments of your imagination"). I love the way these godlike beings were written, they feel real and organic, these ancient fiends that crave chaos and madness. Lots of body horror, dangerous levels of description, and a unique setting. The Deep, by Nick Cutter (pen name). I am Chris Mastro, and not a 25+ yo Craig Davidson, I did not write this.

[@foghornproductions1101]

Awesome!! Thanks a lot for the recommendation, we will definitely check this out.

[@VictorHugo-ur2ov]

Cheers from Brazil, hope you grow up and show your art to the world

[@foghornproductions1101]

Thank you for the support!

[@w4shep]

I love this animation style!! Haunting, gorgeous and yet leaves a lot to the imagination - is any good cosmic horror should. I specifically like the dust in debris, moving by quickly, the POV shots, the bloody hands, and especially the internal lighting inside the helmet - looks fantastic. And this sound design was amazing. Very visceral. I can't wait to continue watching the series.

[@foghornproductions1101]

Thank you so much for the feedback and support!

[@AltrusianGraceMedia]

Fantastic work guys! I dig it!

[@foghornproductions1101]

Thank you, your music really helped! :)

[@GhostBearCommander]

Perfect capture of the Cosmic Horror feel! So rare that anybody gets it this right.

[@foghornproductions1101]

This type of feedback is the highest form of appreciation that we can get. Thank you. We plan to release the next episode towards the end of the month, we really hope you will enjoy it.

[@phthisis]

Despite the fact that this was...less of an animation and more like a digital diorama...this had extremely good use of lighting, especially since the biggest character of them all was the darkness. At first I was getting serious SCP vibes, but that quickly dissipated when one of the SCAPE suited spelunkers whipped out a blowtorch to "get a sample" the size of a finger joint (I guess there's no need to check it for organics ;p). This gave me serious 2015-era "anime" that were very much like this, series like Yami Shibai and Kagewani, that had decent voice acting and excellent atmosphere but questionable plots and whimsical pacing.

[@foghornproductions1101]

Thank you for the constructive feedback, we've also felt some pacing issues, unfortunately due to being just a passion project and planning to make it a series, we are limited by budget and time. This kind of feedback helps us improve and we hope that the next episode will be better!

[@CL_the_Writer]

This was as creepy as it was intriguing, I'm excited for the next part! The animations, the voice acting and the editing are top-notch! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@foghornproductions1101]
