Sorry for the very late reply, but I didn’t received any notifications about these messages. Maybe I need to set this up. btw, Thank you. No it’s just an ordinary American city from the 70’s. There are 5-6 scenes In the movie which takes place in some kind of city environment. That’s why I make an ordinary cityscape. You know, if I just put the camera to the next corner, change the lights and the time, and I get another scene whitout any huge, extra work. That was my goal to make a 70’s city to the BG. ---

As some of you may know, I have been working on my own film, “[The Fortunate Son](https://www.magyarfilm.com/)” which is a 3D animated short. The website for the film is now complete and I am seeking financial investors to fund the movie. If you or anyone you know may be interested, please check out the website and consider investing. This film, with its distinctive and unique visual style, well-developed characters, captivating and original storytelling will surely be a lasting experience. It will be a memorable milestone in indie 3D film production. This film will keep you guessing until the very end. #3d #shortfilm #filmmaking #unrealengine5 > **[Fortunate Son | 3D Short Movie 🎬](https://www.magyarfilm.com/)** > > A mind-bending cocktail of science fiction and crime story. ---

I completely agree with @PresumptivePanda; the visuals in this 1:20-second clip and the attached screenshots are amazing! 🤩 The combination of the background music and cinematic sequencing made it feel like I was watching the opening of a “Westworld” intro! It must have taken a while to create such a powerful scene. 🦾 ---
