Description:

The main idea behind the short film “Leave Reality Behind” is anxiety, a feeling of confinement, and loneliness. The protagonist is given a chance to “step out” and escape from reality for a little while, where he can find tranquility and peace. He can leave his troubles and the world’s problems behind. However, this is not a permanent state; he always has to return to the full reality.

I focused on conveying emotions, so the main emphasis was on facial animation, alongside body movement.

Thank you for watching. I look forward to hearing your opinions.

Unreal Engine 5.2
