Combining live action with visual effects, this dramatic promo for Nightflyers explores themes of surreal experiences and psychological conflict aboard the ill-fated ship.

When Kill 2 Birds sought a creative partner to help realise their vision for SyFy's new science fiction series, Territory joined the project to bring their concept to life.

Working closely together, we crafted a 30-second trailer that merges 3d animation, VFX, iconography, and graphic treatments — capturing the volatile emotional states that consume the Nightflyers crew.

Through an experimental R&D process, we developed unique visual distortions applied to the geometry of each character’s face. These effects served as symbolic representations of their inner turmoil, reflecting personal backstories and narrative arcs. The sequence builds toward a chilling reveal, hinting at the alien presence lurking aboard the ship.
