Blood Trails
Darksynth Track & Sci-Fi Horror Blender Animation
Scary, hard-hitting darksynth single.
Scary darksynth track with clicky bassdrum, powerful drums, creepy atmos, and spooky melody. Hard-hitting and terrifying.
This dark synthwave single came out in November 2022, and was originally composed in October 2021in MuLab.
The track is available on all music platforms (Links here: https://darksideofsynth.com/blood-trails-creepy-darksynth.html).
In October 2023, I decided this track needed an official music video. So, after some pondering over various options, I decide to create something simple but mysterious with Blender. Nothing fancy, I am just a super lame amateur with that amazing 3D software.
I really had nothing planned, either in terms of story or of look. I simply added a landscape, a wall, some rocks, and then completely winged it, as I went along.
I only knew it would have to be roughly 5,000 frames long at 24 fps to accommodate for the music.
It's a sort of POV adventure in some weird, and mysterious location (perhaps even another planet). You view this world through the eyes of the protagonist, of which we do not know anything at all. Not even if it's human.
The protagonist moves around, exploring this uncanny place. After a little while, a couple of pulsing spheres appear, and things start getting darker and more dangerous...
I will not spoil you the ending. You can watch the video below.
The animation was made with Blender 3.6.4 on Linux Mint 21.2, and the video was edited with Lightworks 23.1 again on Linux Mint.
In the video, along the music track, there are also some special sound effects. Sounds I created along the years, and which you can find and purchase on Pond5, along with the track, and you can use for your productions.
Below, you will find quite a few screenshots of the whole project, and some explanatory videos, as well as links to the resources.
ENJOY!
