I threw this scene together rather quickly based on a painting I saw (by Lee Madgwick). The barn is modeled super dirty and rough in Blender and all materials use Quixel Megascan textures. I relied heavily on their other 3D assets as well to quickly establish the mood I was going for.
I always wanted to make this scene a bit unsettling and add some sort of contrast to it. So while I was thinking about how to give this a little cool twist, I watched the latest season of Stranger Things and also First Kill.
I really liked the creepy mood the OST of First Kill could create and combined with the interesting camera roll effects of Stranger Things, I thought I could create a really nice and thick mood while also relying heavily on drastic dynamic lighting changes to make such a setup work.
Also, I wanted to challenge myself and make it a rather cinematic experience completely done in engine, which was exciting as I have never used sequencer as well as audio in Unreal before
Well…I guess here we are now and as above, so below!
Enjoy
Done in Unreal 5.0.2
