- “The shivering whispers of a thousand prayers accusing their gods to relieve them from overwhelming and eternal darkness. A world in agony facing the truth, the lack of a divine being to retrieve their souls. And as their scream become silent a bleak veil drips down to earth and slowly turns to peaceful silence”
Zephid Realm - UPHEAVAL
--------------------------------------------
Upheaval is a dystopian visual journey into a world of cosmic horror, filled with darkness and chaos. Drawing on the lore of the Zephid cult, this short film interprets the arrival and birth of the Last Traveller, an invasive, dark entity that uses planets as hosts and breeding grounds to give birth to its matter of chaos. The born swarm intelligence takes over the surface of the planets, plunging all previous life into destruction and chaos. The Traveller and its Matter of Chaos are the beginning of an unstoppable cycle that will take over the entire universe in billions of years.

Proof that horror can be done without blood and guts. Very nicely done!
Many thanks!
There are guts: the hearts.
There was both, but ok lol
That's proof? Lol you 12? It's been proved long ago by lovecraft
real horror , doesnt involve such
What i understand is this.... so the worlds divine entity has abandoned them for unknown reasons. They have been overtaken by some "alien" or creature ( the black water stuff that morphing different shapes)... it somehow lives or combines itself somewhat with humans. It even makes different parts (organs) like the beating heart which was inserted.... after a certain amount of people are "made" on the assembly line it brings them to the area where that powerful alien with the 3 bright lights basically rips them apart.... idk why? So i think maybe the killed mutated people are reincarnated back to just be made again and destroyed... or it was just a one time thing... but the creature at the end seems like he xollects or destroys the actual soul... at first i thought the thing at the end with the lights might have been their god who abandoned them but has returned to collect their souls like it shoild have so they can rest in peace... but i think it wasnt their god... just a part of this weird species that seems to live off our pain or destruction..... anyway hope this clears it up... watch it again and maybe what i think happened will make sense. I could be wrong AF tho lol
Oooooooh, your interpretation makes way more sense. All I got out of this was that it's a bogeyman factory 🤷♀️ idk😂
How can a person even think of creating something like this. It might sound odd but this seems like a higher dimension or a lifeform so advanced that its hard for our simple life form to even see it . Does anyone else hate that it seems like we just abandoned the cosmos or idk but when i watch this i imagine it being like this somewhere out in the vast universe. Itd be amazing to witness things like this. Well done
Thank you very much! I actually find it difficult to explain how I come up with such ideas. A lot of it is pure intuition and just bubbles out of my head. And I think that a lot of influences from music and films I like are flowing into it unconsciously. In fact, I don't really have a script or storyboard prepared for my films and I edit them purely on instinct. Maybe ZEPHID is watching from the depths of space and guiding my thoughts ;) Thanks for watching!
Holy cow, the visuals are absolutely stunning. Great job!
brutally underrated masterpiece
Many thanks 🙌
So very good! Positively Lovecraftian and Lynchian!You excel in both worlds!
Many thanks!🙌
Atmosphericly superb! Chilling! BRAVO!
Great visuals, effects and sounds, obvious talent here ! Your grasp on geometric forms and organic alien textures is especially good.
A perfect example of 'fear of the unknown'.
This is f’ing out of this world. Fantastic job! Oozes cosmic horror!!
many thanks! New Stuff is coming soon!
grand vision and brilliant execution. absolutely loved it!
Very Cool, and Excellently well done. Thank you.
I have to thank!
DO NOT see this on magic mushrooms, or other strong hallucinogens. Something this evil needs to stay inside the screen and not be allowed to inhabit your head. DO watch this under the darkest conditions possible; otherwise you'll miss half of the impressive rendering and detail, painted in a dozen "shades of black", just because of some screen glare. For me, it conjured up Cthulhu imagery and lore, the music video of "Sober" (by Tool) and the prologue to (the Alien franchise film) Prometheus... although I'm sure the creator's mind inhabits far darker places than these, in order to put in the countless hours to bring such an impressive work to fruition!
Somehow it didn't feel evil to me. Unnerving, sure. Repulsive, definitely. But the whole sequence of events felt very apathetic and mechanical. Like whatever needed to be done was no more malevolent than a hurricane or a swarm of locusts. Disastrous not cruel. So very Lovecraftian in tone as his works did focus on the absolute insignificance of earth and humanity in the face of some cosmic entity just going about its business. So not Lovecraftian itself but certainly inspired by.
😂 Dude you had me laughing so hard (that was much needed after seeing this short) at reading your first sentence. 🤣 Good advice!!! Man, what a well done film. I've been sharing this on social media and...well...this guy clearly is so talented no one in traditional entertainment wants anything to do with work of imagination like this.
Bloody hell, bit melodramatic. It looks good but "this evil"? You need to get out more.
Watched Martyrs 2008 and Enter the Void back to back on 5gms of shrooms, I'll be fine
What an absolutely masterful animation, it's so encapsulating, I crave more like this! And it's actually astonishing this work of art isn't in the millions of views, criminally underrated! In less than 10 minutes you were able to create a more suspenseful and captivating horror than most of the genre in recent years! Your work warrants so much more praise and recognition than a measly few thousand, and I'd love to see you go far with your work! Bravo!
Oh WOW, many many thanks!🙌 Let's see what the future will bring! New film is already in the works :)
@@deliriumarts I eagerly await its release! 😊
This is something I have seen in my Nightmares and of which I wrote poetry long ago about such things. I couldn't give the visual until now and watching this was very difficult. I felt like I was going to have a panic attack! I couldn't feel comfortable! Whoever made this animation has a terrifying gift to cause extreme unease, fathomless fear, and yet a fascination with the darkness, to uncover your own Hell.
oh wow, that sounds very interesting! I actually take a lot of ideas from my dreams and am very happy about this gift. I hope I haven't done you any harm with this film. Of course I try to portray the dark and inexplicable visually in my films and it often just bubbles out of me. But I'm actually a really nice guy ;) Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hugs hun. I see worse. 😢 You are awake from the demons holding your peace hostage. 🌿🇨🇦🙅🏻♀️
@@deliriumartsI hated that broad yapping tbh. 😢 I mean Misophonia serious hate trigger. No more annoying broad yap. It was a buzz kill on perfection you placed in my mind. I was thinking good grief yet another narrating lead do I really require it here? such imagery and perfect sound. Scant hint of light in shadow. Kill the need to fill silence. It irritates as over used "like" is in common chatter amongst young adults... Sorry beloved genius.😢 Perfection has a tumor. Kill the disease, save the body. You perfected the body already. Silence is needed where the proverbial " like" was inserted...That broad? she is the tumorous "like".
"The teeth are okay, the gums gotta go."
Alice Cooper.
bravo... mesmerising as!
Awesome Sound, Great Visuals, Intense atmosphere!! Cosmic Horror at its best!
I realize that this desire is like a self-administered gunshot to the foot, it being the case that a beautiful presentation so heavily imbued with abstraction and mystery ought be pondered by the viewer and perhaps reviewed a few times until a fairly concrete idea of what's just been shown us can be formulated. After all, therein lies most of the fun, right?
But I have to admit, I would LOVE to read that screenplay.
Wow, very nicely summarised. I'm right there with you too. Not everything has to be realised and analysed immediately, you can just let it sink in. We are currently building our own collective for the ZEPHID universe. Unfortunately, it will take some time, but I will post it as soon as it is completed. Thank you for your opinion and for watching!
Mesmerising!
Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾, I'd watch all of these, especially on the recreational thangs that are legal here giddy up 🤠 folk's awesome work Robin!!
Hat viel viel mehr Publikum verdient!
Me pone los pelos de punta ... Ciencia ficción o realidad? ...hay tantas cosas que no conocemos en el universo u otras dimensiones que nuestro cerebro no lo puede ni imaginar ...o si ...tu lo haces posible ...Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏
Stunning! Bravo!
You can tell it is good when you want to see more. Very good thanks.
I have to thank you!
This is for Tool fans. I like the Lovecraft elements that aren't overstated. Impressive. Great job.😮. It feels very real. And somehow the black and dark colors are normal.
Lol immediately thought of Tool
I'm getting way heavier MESHUGGAH vibes.
@@mattressfour20 A sweedish extreme metal band. I'll have to check them and that song out. 👍
Robin... I just need to know how many shrooms you ate before you made this. :) And why were those humanoids being destroyed at the end instead of them invading Earth? Very nice visuals. Very otherworldly. Not sure why these humanoids needed a human heart but... maybe you can explain? thx!!!
First of all, many thanks for your comment!
And yeah, i am quite a fan of edible mushrooms - but the normal ones ;).
So i try to explain what i was thinking while creating this scenes:
the heart is artificially created by the formless matter(the moving ball that comes out of the gate). Only through this heart, the human-like beings are awakened to life, so to speak, as carrying hosts. The destruction of them at the end is not the absolute end but a kind of changing their forms into large black rakes that act as a whole and travel in this form the vastness of the universe. Always in search of new planets that are there to get taken over.
Yeah, so far so good. But first and foremost, this project is more about the freedom to create your own interpretations.
I am workin on a second movie in the same Zephid Universe at the moment, the next one will be far more clearer in storyline and meaning. Many thanks for your interests and also a big praise to your channel. Very interesting content!
@@deliriumarts thx for the reply and explanation! The results of your work were very disturbing and thought-provoking!
@@deliriumarts ah, now I remember where I remember you from! hehehe I had watched this one 6 months ago and thought it was cool but I couldn't quite remember where I saw your name from. So, now I remember.
How did I just discover this channel? Your work is absolutely outstanding. And you do all of it yourself! Congrats. Insane. The vibe and the atmosphere you build is unparalleled.
so many thanks!
This is stunning. Very well done!
Can't add anything meaningful to what others have said, commenting for the algorithm so more people find this masterpiece.
Thank you!;)

Beautifully done!
I love it. To me, it feels like it could be a prequel to Skin Deep. Well done!!!
Only those of us who recognize God’s existence and purpose can call that reality “unpleasant.”
Those who don’t can only call this “reality.”
Masterpiece…of postmodern nihilism. Well done. Wow!
many thanks & great view!
Am really digging your creations and work!! just fire!!! been a longtime since I have seen anything actually creative and original especially in the sci-fi and horror genres.. Thanks for sharing and creating.. much love and respect.
Hey @zazz69ed, so many thanks for your kind words! It's so nice to see that my art is appreciated. Especially from people who also have some experience and affinity for Cosmic Horror. Thank you very much for watching!
That was dark and a potentially disturbing omen.
Great new video from The Portal!!
I am blown away. This is amazing
Many thanks!🔥
Great work! Very immersive! Congratulations!!
Officially, epic sound design. Diggin' your story told in the visual and sound. No color just stark, raving mad lack of color! Listening with headphones is an essential must.
yeah, sadly, the Video Quality i really bad. This was one of my first Projects i started and didn't know much about RUclips compression...if i have time, i will reupload it in a much better quality. Many thanks for watching (and listening)
I think either monologue or something like that is needed to make this work. Lovecraft tended to portray horror not by actually portraying it but by showing the insanity of the people that did see it. Lovecraftian horror lives from the horrors being undescribable which is hard to portray for sure. What really creates the tention is seeing witnesses go insane.
I inspire you with all my might! The chaos, the unknown and the incomprehensible is the true horror in my eyes. Many thanks for watching!
yeah this just lacked enough explanation. it was just some woman rambling about something, and then some interesting visuals and.. that was it?
@@paratrooper508Exactly. I‘m not terrified of vague stuff. I want to know the concrete danger that it poses to me, be it physically or mentally.
@@epimisti I’m the same way. I like the visuals but I spent most of the video waiting for some sort of explanation on what was happening. I think what would’ve worked was some sort of twist at the end, I like to think the planet that’s shown is earth millions of years after some sort of eldritch demon or something conquered the world and started using our bodies as breeding machines. But that’s the point. Cosmic horror needs some sort of human element to compare the incomprehensible with. Even if the fear is in what you don’t know, there needs to be a surface so we can say that we’ve barely scratched the surface. This video looks great and the visuals are pretty ominous but without a concept, they’re just visuals
One of these days, I want to get someone like you to do a screen version of my book, "The Fourth Signal." This is the kind of visually unworldly look I want for the things in my story. 👍👍
Wow, sound interesting, I will have a look on your book!
Holy crap that was amazing! Thank you for making this.
Thanks! With pleasure🔥
What a fantastic vid!! Just wow
thank you!
We need to get you a hollywood budget quick ,fast, and in a hurry. There's a massive dearth of (good) modern cosmic horror films out there. I think The Void was the last cosmic-horror billed film I thought had substantial merit. (Ok, and The Empty Man, but that had to grow on me thru a few viewings. 😉)
Your style is very epic, but still manages to capture the malignant Otherness of whatever that entity was.
I'm in awe- respect.
This is the good stuffs. ^_^
Very cool ! And long life to BLENDER !
many thanks! And Blender forever
wow! very impressive imagery with a great mood in all scenes!
That was great. More please!
brutal!!
and the sound design is a masterpiece, mate!
Thanks man! 🙌
Amazing, thanks.
Wow! Great Job, Keep them coming.
thank you! More Stuff is in the making. Really - right now ;)
Amazing Works, as a sound designer , i'm really impressed with the sound! And the animation is perfect!
Many thanks! 🔥
True cosmic horror leaves me with questions. VERY well done!
So many thanks!
Watched it at 3 am, the movie goes so absurdly well with the existential void of midnight ! For me the movie is about darkness and how there can be no end to how darker it will further get, like that light killing own creation .
Absolutely phenomenal. I'd love to see a 'making of' - maybe just of one or two shots.
Hey @Theorist Labs many thanks to you! For the next project(that is also in the making) I will probably show some making of scenes. It's just very difficult to pick out the best scenes with this amount of material but I will do my best!
@@deliriumarts Thanks for the reply! I'll look forward to it!
Masterpiece
Depressing but entertaining. What a dark dark place.
I'm not really sure what to think... Great visuals, to ne sure, but I dont really understand what's meant to be happening. The big box-thing creates a humanoid creature, gives it life, then puts it in a chamber with a bunch of other figures, then... lights up three doorways or somthing? And then suddenly decides to destroy the creatures instead.
Like, mystery is important in cosmic horror, but I worry this is overdoing that. You do still need to provide a few key details, in this case I think a concrete reason for the god-like entity to light up the screens before killing the creatures would potentially have given better substance. It would still be mysterious why it was creating these beings just to kill them, but just a bit more information could reinforce the bleakness of that loop.
Or, maybe I'm just missing some context clues that were supposed to be obvious.
Dear Johnathan, first of all, thank you for your open and honest criticism! And I absolutely agree with you on many points. All in all, this is purely an art project whose ideas just come in my mind spontaneously and I try to put them together in an overall package. In addition, I always try to create enough room for own interpretations. Moreover, this short film is my first personal shortfilm project. The next Animationfilm(that is already in the making) will strive for a much stronger story aspect. Many thanks for watching!
@@deliriumarts Okay, that pretty much clears up my concerns. I had misinterpreted it as purely a standalone, but if it's part of something ongoing and building up to something, then that gives it a lot more breathing room for unexplained goings on. Thanks for accepting my critique!
Wow. Another masterful work. What you do with light and darkness - the mood, the backgrounds, the details, all working together! I'm no expert, nor am I a critic, but I know what is good, and this is really, really good!
thanks you very much!
Absolutely outstanding video many thanks
no cause. i have to thank you!
One of the best I've ever seen.... honestly amazing
many thanks! New movie is also in making!
This is a very good video great job in fact some serious thought went into this I hope you get discovered and do this for a living
Spectacular!
many thanks!
Absolutely superb ; heavily weird . . . .very imagenitive
many thanks!
This Is truly amazing. Well done!
Many thanks!
Fantastic animation, great storyline. I can't wait to see your full length feature, if that's your desire.
Beautifully disturbing and disturbingly beautiful
many Thanks!
Christ this video was trippy as fuck. I was wrecked when I watched this...at night, lights off, headphones on... what a ride 🤘💀🤘
Magnificent
many thanks!
So Good Sound Structure and Atmosphere is really creepy attractive.
many thanks!
Sick. Just so perfect. Hat off. More, please ❤
many thanks! More will come!
Thank you for not being afraid of being out of the box with your art. It’s creepy, storytelling and super inspiring ❤ this piece stands out big time
Thank you so much! Yes, I try to take myself out of the typical genre, but maybe it's also the fact that I do everything on my own and don't have to stick to anything. That's a freedom I wouldn't want to miss. Next movie is already in the pipeline ;) Thank you very much for watching!
yayy im excited to see your project when its done. goodluck to you ❤✨@@deliriumarts
It is, was. Lovely
thank you!
Just wow. :)
Many thanks!
Excellent job on the amazing visuals. I really missed though, a lack of direct conflict. For example, I refer to one of my personal sci-fi/ horror favorites, Ridley Scott's Alien. I always liked how the vieer had fear instilled in them of 'what's next'. Here though, the entity interacted only interacted with itself. Wait. That came out wrong. 😅 But to my point. Again, you did a really impressive job on the graphics. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work
so many thanks!
Beautiful work, Sir!
Thanks you very much 🙌
Wow!
Great job!
many thanks!
WOW!
So, the old ones returned and engulfed the world.....Mankind is no more except for the mockeries the old ones recreate and sacrifice. Total chaos and madness.....Brilliant stuff mate...fantastic visuals....I know this must be a shit ton of work to make, would love to see more.
many thanks my friend! New Movie will come soon!
I need so badly of a version of this in 4k HDR. Amazing work.
Yeah, absolutely, maybe i will post a 4K remaster of it!
Great work on the art, you certainly are a master creator. Lovecraft would feel connected to your approach to the "darkness".
The story however was lacking in depth and consistency. No doubt you're on the road to great accomplishments. Just discovered your channel and I'll certainly watch it all.
I wanted to tell you I find your art intriguing and excellent. If I had money I would support you. Unfortunately I can only offer the support of my heart and mind. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, so many thanks for that. A compliment like that is worth more to me than all the money in the world. Thank you very much for watching!
not sure if this come before or after nyghil but definitely before godh. the humanoid sac creatures are certainly reminiscent of the humanoids in this one. also the images flashing gave me the impression of epiphany.
And a big cradle. An arc. (Noah's arc?)
(Binged all three. So cool. So cool. So unnatural but also very organic. The part with the heart reminds me of the kryptonian liquid metal tech from man of steel)
What a great masterpiece! It reminded me of the movie Event Horizon, mixed with H.P Lovecraft and all in the universe of Warhammer 40k. It's good to feel the fear of the unknown again and I just wish this was perhaps a bit longer but it got me hooked!! Excellent work to all those involved with making this, because this is how good horror movies start, and end up with a franchise!! Excellent work team 😊
Wow, a big thank you! Of course I'm delighted that you like the film and the universe it shows. If these films weren't so enormously elaborate, there would of course be a lot more of them.... But I can already say that the next movie is already in the making! It will be a while before the film is finished, but I can promise that the next part will be even better ;) Thank you very much for watching and for your comment!
Very creative, parts had me thinking of the Hellraiser Series. Curious about how the ideas were brought up. Distant future? Different dimension? Very far region of space where physics is altered?
Wow man, this is really good
Thank you very much!🙌
Your work is amazing 🤩
thank you so much!
talent-.........
An absolute true vision of what Hell is like for real.😢
Oh, no, it's worse than that. This isn't Hell. It's Heaven. Those are not sinners being punished, but saints being rewarded. Didn't you ever wonder why Lucifer rebelled against God, and why a third of the angels joined the rebellion? Now you know.
Life defined by what makes us know we are alive : sight, sound, taste, sensation , smell, thoughts, warmth, cold, and desire to name a few significant Inventions of God. There is more as we evolve.
The Crawling Chaos ist coming
Just W O W . . .
That was amazing.👍
Thank you!
I’m such an old metal head! There were a few moments where either Fear Factory or even Type O Negative would have fit! Keep up the good work. …hey, if you were going for soulless and godless but some way still a creative process… scary as F !!!
many thanks my friend!
Great work!!! It reminded me a bit of the Beast and it's Dark Fortress on the film Krull but 50,000X more disturbing.
Incredible that this was made by a single person.
WOW!!! that was wild. great effects. creepy as hell.
Glad you enjoyed it!
if scorn was a movie - equally impressive and unsatisfying.
My goal it to get to this point in blender and beyond 🔥😎 this was amazing. Something dark and misfortunate seems to drift on and out of the void seeking purpose creating and destroying, beyond our own comprehension. Phenomenal once again. I look forward to seeing what your mind has to offer 😁 i wonder what you will think up next. I'll be waiting 😁
Oh wow, thank you so much! Blender is unfortunately not always as easy as I would like it to be, but I'm always amazed at what you can do with it. Especially as it's open source and I've taught everything myself, or rather I just keep trying and testing until something great comes out of it ;). I've also just seen that you make some great 3D artworks, keep at it, at some point it will find the right audience for sure! I'm also working on a new project right now too, let's see what comes of it...
@deliriumarts yeah im also super amazed to see how all this awesome stuff can come out of blender also. And thanks man I got a journey ahead of me and your videos along with a ton of others give me purpose and goals im sure I'll catch up to ya one day 🔥💪💪 until then I'll keep watchin ya and keep getting inspired 😎
