The 1st video below is the Official music video and teaser of Le Castle Vania's EP "PROPHICATION", which came out last September. It features a futuristic scene where a space ship is flying towards a large structure in a mountain. The 3D used in this video utilizes intense depth of field, and gives the viewer a look into a gigantic future world.




The 2nd video below is a short film Evan created called, "Caldera", which was inspired by his father's struggle with a schizoaffective disorder. Evan writes, "In states of delusion, my father has danced on the rings of Saturn, spoken with angels, and fled from his demons. He has lived both a fantastical and haunting life, but one that's invisible to the most of us. In our differing understanding of reality, we blindly mandate his medication, assimilate him to our marginalizing culture, and entirely misinterpret him for all he is worth. CALDERA aims to not only venerate my father, but all brilliant minds forged in the haunted depths of psychosis".
