  • Hello, I’m RCL Graham, a writer/director, editor and all-round filmmaker of over 13 years. I taught myself Unreal Engine in August 2021 and I’m now an Unreal Dev working in VR. The Awakening is a fight scene between two cyborgs on a distant planet, who once shared a history. I came up with the storyline and created this animation within the timeframe of this challenge and used it as an opportunity to showcase my love of storytelling in different medium forms. I have used light as a method of narration without the use of dialogue.

Big thanks to James McKinney for doing the music, sound design, SFX, foley and audio master, and to Arturo Williams for helping me troubleshoot technical aspects of Unreal Engine.
