Created in just six weeks with Unreal Engine 5 Early Access, MetaHuman Creator, and a small team of artists, THE EYE: CALANTHEK is an enigmatic and suspenseful short film by Aaron Sims Creative (ASC).
The film tells the story of intergalactic maintenance worker Valentina (named for Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space) who is called to repair a drone on a distant planet, where she encounters a hostile alien creature and a strange force that won’t let her leave. The film’s director Aaron Sims, renowned creature designer and founder of ASC, joined forces with writer Vivian Yoon, who also voiced Valentina, to develop the concept into something that could be achieved under these constraints.
