Hey everyone! You might have already heard about my project, but if not, let me introduce you to The Fortunate Son, my 3D animated short film. It’s a 27-minute sci-fi crime comedy based on a real historical event that happened 50 years ago.
The entire film was created in Unreal Engine, with characters made using Metahuman. For motion capture, I used an Xsens suit and Manus Quantum Meta gloves. While the film has its funny moments, it also tackles some serious questions.
I made it almost entirely on my own, though I had a lot of help along the way. It took me four long years to complete, as I could only work on it in the evenings after my day job. Right now, it’s making the rounds at festivals, and more updates will be coming soon!
I’m excited to share with you the official trailer, hope you enjoy it!
