Omen of the Lake
Completed in August 2021
Eric created Omen of the Lake as his final year project during his animation degree at De Montfort University. In it he explores feelings of grief through folklore-like storytelling.
​
Anya, grieving the loss of her grandmother, Oma, embarks on a journey to hunt and kill the omen of the lake, a spirit called Nabe who takes the form of various animals.
Design
During production it became clear how important colour and environment were to conveying the story without the use of dialogue.
Storyboard
The storyboard was the largest challenge to overcome during the production of Omen of the Lake. In order to correctly pace each scene of the story with appropriate colour transitions, the storyboard had to be complete before any animation or final designs could be started.
