Haunted Swamp

Haunted Swamp is a short cinematic built in Unreal Engine 5, set in the dead of a fog-choked night somewhere deep in the American South. A plantation house sits back from the tree line, its windows burning with dim candlelight. Bare branches cut across the frame. Gravestones disappear into the mist. Nothing moves. Nothing has to. The piece leans entirely on atmosphere — volumetric fog, Lumen-lit interior light spilling through glass, and Ultra Dynamic Sky's overcast night system doing the heavy lifting. The color treatment keeps everything cold and desaturated except for those amber windows, which draw the eye like the only warmth left in the world. Color graded in DaVinci Resolve through a Linear-ACES pipeline with Dehancer film emulation.
