Short film for a local cafe here in Dubai

We are currently making a feature length Anime using Unreal, due to release late 2026. However we wanted to make something quickly to let out our creative angst, so we made this short for one of our favorite Bistros here.

It’s pretty basic, but we were in a rush, so just edited the simple 2d assets in Premiere and imported them as media cards to UE.

Turned out pretty cool, and overall I’m just thankful that such a tool as UE enables us to do animation like this on almost zero budget and a short amount of time.

Hi @TheVoiceBox welcome back! This is a really cool idea. I’m curious, are you thinking of adding the 2D characters into a fully 3D world, or building the world around the 2D style so everything feels cohesive? Or are you planning on blending the two styles, to take advantage of both of their artistic benefits. It definitely feels like it has a lot of potential and could be really fun experience.
