  • Description / backstory to the piece / feedback around the challenge
    A boy fell into a trouble at the Retarding basin
    I had original idea of this story few years ago while taking a walk. I passed under an unfamiliar bridge and found a Retarding basin in my town. The place was so impressive so I took pictures and made a story from it.
    There are a lot of restrictions on the actual shooting, so unreal engine and metahuman are perfect substitute for visualizing my story.
    With this challenge, I learned to use metahuman animator, IK Retargeting, attaching head rotation to body rig, making underwater environment and so on.
    I hope to learn motion capture next time.
