Forgotten Temple - Unreal Engine Cinematic

The amazing team of UT-Hub selected me to participate in the Epic Bootcamp LATAM 2023. I was tasked with creating a cinematic using Unreal Engine. The goal was to bring the script to life in a visually stunning and engaging way.

I began the process by creating an audiovisual script and mood board, which helped me to establish the look and feel of the cinematic. From there, I moved on to creating a storyboard, which proved to be a bit of a challenge.

I must admit, my enthusiasm for storytelling led me to include an abundance of cameras for the short duration. This required some adjustments to maintain a cohesive narrative within the time limit.

Once the storyboard was finalized, I moved on to creating the set dressing for the project. This involved locating assets in the Epic Games' & Quixel Bridge free library and customizing them to fit the specific needs of the cinematic.

I learned how to use cinematic cameras, lighting, and Niagara particles during the bootcamp. Also, I decided to experiment with Unreal's water and fluids systems, presenting a rewarding yet challenging endeavor that I'm proud of.

To add realism and depth to the protagonist, I opted for the Metahuman character, seamlessly integrating their movements using Mixamo animation library and Live Link Face app for facial motion capture. The character's clothing was sourced from Sketchfab, enhancing their visual appeal.

The final result was a visually stunning cinematic that effectively brought the script to life. The use of Unreal Engine allowed me to create incredibly realistic environments and characters, which helped to immerse the viewer in the story. The final product also effectively conveyed the message and tone of the script, which was a major goal of the project.

Overall, the Unreal Engine cinematic for Epic Bootcamp LATAM 2023 was a major success. While there were some challenges along the way, I was able to overcome them and create a final product that was both visually stunning and effective at conveying the message of the script.

The use of Unreal Engine opened my possibilities to get better and more engaging content.
