I made an UNREAL ENGINE short film in THREE DAYS

I challenged myself to make an Unreal Engine 5 short film in just three days using green screen and virtual production techniques. This video charts my journey from a blank piece of paper to the finished short film. I really pushed myself on this one!

It's easy to get bogged down in the details, working hard to make something perfect. This video was my attempt to get free of my high expectations and make something in a short space of time to see how good the result can be.

Since learning Unreal Engine virtual production and the ability to build worlds in real time, I have become quite obsessed with how films can be made in the engine through virtual production. The method I use in this video is centred around playing back keyed media inside the engine on translucent planes. This method relies largely on rendering your film after shooting rather than everything coming together on set using real time graphics on LED walls, mixed reality green screen or live compositing methods.

It is one of many ways to use the technology but currently it is the method that works for me and the films I want to make. I will be exploring further virtual production techniques in the future including live tracking, mocap, metahuman and a few experiments I'm working on too.

I absolutely loved making this video and will certainly be making more like it in the future especially because I was able to end up with an unreal engine 5 short film at the end.

Please let me know in the comments if you would be interested in taking part in an Unreal Engine virtual production short film challenge.
