Cosmic Encounter - An Unreal Engine 5.4 Short Film
Hi All!
I though I would share my first Unreal (version 5.4.4) short film, which I used to get a grip on the engine’s sequencer, camera movements, light & camera features, as well as on integrating basic animations from Mixamo into the scenes. This was my first ‘proper’ forray into working on any 3D software to create a coherent story, as I have no background whatsoever in animation, modeling, or 3D rendering, but have experience with documentary film, editing, and sound design.
The film was produced between October 5-December 14, 2024 as a small pet project, starting with the basic design of the map based on Magnet VFX’s “Land of the Arcs” tutorial.
AI generation (ideogram.ai) has been used for the ‘flashback’ images, which were then expanded via Adobe’s Generative Fill (Firefly integrated into Photoshop), as well as for the voice over (ElevenLabs), which then went through additional pitch adjustments in Premiere Pro.
Thank you for watching and Merry Christmas and/or Holiday Season to all!
