The SFX and the final audio mix were done in Adobe Premiere Pro 2022.
Premiere also helped greatly with the reframing and final touches on the 3D animation itself.
Besides the P10 RONI weapon, all 3D assets were modeled and textured specifically for this animation. Some highlights are the highly accurate flashlight and the ancient tome, which used an optical illusion for its animation.
The flashlight animation was achieved with just three frames: Light On, Light Off and Dim Light. The oscillation of these frames was done in Adobe After Effects 2022 and finalized in Adobe Premiere Pro 2022, alongside a custom flashlight sound effect.
Lighting was the hardest part of this scene. The location had to be very dark to justify the broken flashlight, but also bright enough to show the silhouettes of the dead trees around the stone table and the rough textures on the dirt ground.
The image textures for the Ritual Book prop were created in Adobe Illustrator 2022 after a lot of sketching and research.
Some inspirations for this design were the Necronomicon from Call of Cthulhu, as well as the Harry Potter movies and TES V: Skyrim.
