I am always inspired to find ways to use unreal engine everything that goes beyond action scenes. Character animation imho is the one thing the makes or breaks a cinematic. It is something that I am always experimenting with. This was my first project with Move AI and I am impressed by the results. I will follow the platform’s development.

The cinematic: A tango dancer practices his technique somewhere in Buenos Aires late at night. Even if we are not professional dancers, we all do that when we hear a tune that inspires us to move - sometimes in the most unexpected places. I hope you like it.

Hi there @AndreasSing,

I definitely agree with you. There’s been several times when a bad animation has ruined something, otherwise, incredibly cinematic. So seeing what you’ve managed to do as a first project is kind of remarkable. The dancer moves slowly with calculated steps while clearing considering each move. It looks wonderful! :slight_smile:

How long did this take you? And do you plan on making more shorts similar to this?
