Gabriel Schemoul | The Eclipse *PREMIERE*

Step into the hauntingly beautiful world of ‘The Eclipse’, an independent animated music video crafted for the American artist Kate de Rosset. This 3D masterpiece blends the charm of stop-motion aesthetics with cutting-edge animation, creating a visual experience that’s both powerful and delicate.

At its heart is the Graufrost, a cursed ghost wandering through an ever-changing landscape inspired by the works of painter Charles Burchfield. As it moves, everything in its path freezes into ice, transforming the American countryside into a shifting, spectral dreamscape. It’s a poetic dance of metamorphosis, where inner transformation meets outer wonder.

The craftsmanship behind this project is nothing short of mind-blowing. Using Blender and Unreal Engine, the team wove together an atmospheric universe that feels alive with organic rhythm and oniric beauty. From the intricate details of the Graufrost’s design to the delicate animation of ice spreading across the landscape, every frame is a testament to the power of thoughtful, meticulous artistry. The ever-changing world, with its frozen textures and ethereal glow, pulls you into a dreamlike journey that’s as immersive as it is emotionally resonant.

The Graufrost’s haunting presence and the icy, shifting world it inhabits invite viewers to explore themes of change, loss, and rebirth. With its blend of powerful storytelling, delicate animation, and a dreamlike atmosphere, this project is a stunning reminder of how art can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
