I think I made a bad decision... 😉 Instead of building a scene inside a Star Destroyer with Imperial Stormtroopers, as guided by Bad Decisions Studio's "Unreal Engine 5 Beginner Tutorial Series," I ventured into something entirely different. I'm thrilled to unveil Walk Away, a teaser trailer that dives into the realms of horror, suspense, and psychological thriller. For the past month and a half, I’ve been deeply immersed in this project while finishing my master’s degree. This journey has been challenging and incredibly rewarding, pushing me to explore new creative boundaries and refine my skills in Unreal Engine 5.4, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro. The process was intense but immensely satisfying as I watched my ideas transform into reality. There are many things I'd love to fix, but I had to "walk away" for this iteration; otherwise, I'd be working on it forever. Special thanks to: @badxstudio for the incredible tutorials on Unreal Engine Cinematic Production. @azielarts for your guidance on PCG in Unreal Engine 5.3+. @WilliamFaucher for teaching me how to go beyond rendering and into post-processing. I’m thrilled to share my project with you all. It’s the culmination of hard work, late nights, and a passion for storytelling through digital cinematography. Please note that Walk Away contains horror and psychological thriller elements that may not be everyone's cup of tea. Your feedback and thoughts would mean the world to me as I continue to grow and learn. 👀 Check it out and let me know what you think! 📺 https://lnkd.in/gdKfwmGE Looking forward to your thoughts on the project and plotting a course to scale the next production mountain 🗻 #UnrealEngine5 #DaVinciResolve #PremierePro #AdobeAudition #DigitalCinematography #EnvironmentArt

StorySage.io is disrupting traditional media and film production, and democratizing content creation, using AI-assisted story design, images, video and sound. Using the Story Sage platform, any storyteller can become a filmmaker, from a six-year-old child creating their own fairy tales to a film student producing their class project to a screenwriter struggling to break through with their first spec script, all can benefit from AI-assisted creation. At Story sage, we can make your ideas come to life in ways that today the big studios gatekeep or are out of reach in terms of cost or the limitations of what one person can do. That was then, this is now. For those who say, "No, we should oppose creation of cinematographic art with this new technology, it has no soul!" or "Large Language and Diffusion models are trained on all of human creativity while paying nothing, they are not original!" or, most painful of all, "AI is taking our jobs!, we humbly ask: Should Steven Soderbergh not have used Jim Jannard's Red One, the first affordable 4k digital cinematic camera camera, to film Che, in 2007? Should Netflix not have upended distribution by launching its streaming service that same year, after having previously upended distribution by mailing rental DVDs in 1998? Should Quentin Tarantino not have created an homage to Chinese and Japanese martial arts films in 2003's Kill Bill? Should Vancouver and Toronto and Quebec never have competed with Hollywood by making production costs cheaper and displacing thousands of jobs from Hollywood to Hollywood North? Should George Lucas' ILM and Steven Spielberg not have made the first fully digitally animated characters, the dinosaurs in 1993's Jurassic Park, winning an Academy Award in the process? Should Avid not have made the first Media Composer on the now historic Macintosh II in 1988? Should Wendy Carlos not have used Moog synthesizers in Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange in 1971? We could go on of course, but the point is this: Cinema, television, and newer media such as video games and the metaverse, has a history of innovation and use of technology. Why stop now? We are entering a new age of creation -- not the end of creation -- where anybody can be a creator. Join us in the revolution at StorySage.io! Want a bit of inspiration today, check out Bill Warner's original demo for the Avid/1 Media Composer on a Macintosh II in 1988: https://lnkd.in/gbaAF6hN Listen and watch a live take of Wendy Carlos playing the opening theme to Clockwork Orange: https://lnkd.in/gQVqASqv

As a seasoned marketing and business executive with over 30 years of experience in the heart of the film industry, and an even longer history as a western enthusiast, my anticipation for new cinematic adventures seldom reaches the heights it has for Kevin Costner's latest masterpiece, "Horizon." This is a sentiment I've not felt since the awe-inspiring days of Taylor Sheridan's "Yellowstone." My journey from a western fan to a devout follower of the vaquero style of riding has only deepened my appreciation for the genre, especially when it's explored through a modern perspective. "Horizon" promises to be a storytelling spectacle, skillfully blending the rugged charm of the wild west with the nuanced vision of contemporary cinema. The latest trailer alone is a testament to this, offering glimpses of what promises to be an enthralling narrative adventure. Moreover, the strategic approach to its distribution release is nothing short of brilliant, setting a new standard for how westerns are shared with the world. I invite you to join me in this anticipation and take a moment to watch the "Horizon" trailer. As someone who has dedicated their career to the art of film marketing and witnessed the evolution of cinematic storytelling, I am pretty sure that this is an adventure you won't want to miss. Let's ride into the horizon together, where the legacy of the western meets the future of filmmaking. https://lnkd.in/e4HJtCek

Is this the beginning of the end of animation & film? OpenAI have created SORA AI - a text to video generation tool - which is not yet available to everyone, but a few artists have been given access and created some amazing stuff. This piece by Nik Kleverov is a clear example of what this tech is able to do. And this is the worst it's ever gonna be. Interesting times ahead for the animation and film industry. I personally feel this is the beginning of a brand new art form which will eventually be considered "real" art with all the previous disciplines that were looked down upon at some point. What are your thoughts? Share them in the comments below. #ai #animation #film #sora

A highly perceptive, on point incisive session was given by Latha Srinivasan Ji. Lucky to have had her do so as she gave us a solid introduction to the world of 'Public relations'. The most key learning is that the PRO is effectively the primary salesman of a Film project. She revealed to us the cycle of PR process for any film from start to finish, from pre production to release, and even after the release. We discuss Social and Digital media strategies, The challenging aspect of Crisis management, The importance of and best approaches to building media relations and working with corporations, brands and individual producers. After a thorough brief on Film branding, she also talks about 'Celebrity management' and clears out the differences between the two. We learn great examples of successful PR strategies of the past and present. Then we learn how to handle sensitive issues surrounding LGBT communities/ portrayal of same-sex relations, communal issues and controversial political viewpoints. Out of this very important session, one of my main reasons for joining the Cinepreneur Program run by T-Hub, the greatest takeaway is - Create a story to make a film but also make a great story and strategy to sell the film to create buzz, build anticipation and eventually reach as many as you can to showcase your dream projects. Once again thanking MEESCHOOL, T-Hub, Pratibha Pulijalafor putting this together.

My team REALLY wanted me to start filming daily vlogs at the beginning of the year for 90 days straight. Obviously that didn't happen but in exchange you do still get a short recap of what a day in my looks like. Let me know what you think. If we should keep this up or not 🤷🏎️ #dayinthelife #ferrariclub #realtorlife #daywitharealtor #hustle #mondaymotivation

While studying #cinematography, we are looking at two distinct ways of filming a scene and the different ways that your theme, character and action can be communicated in each. Here is a scene I shot two different ways: 1. The traditional multi-take and cut together. This gave me a lot of freedom during the edit and allowed me to relax on the day of the shoot. I could explore complicated camera angles and shots whilst maintaining continuity. 2. The one take. I had a lot less freedom in the edit, as I could not cut the shot except to 'top-and-tail' the video and I had to be far more prepared for the shoot, as every movement needed to be planned (the storyboards, shot list and script came in very handy even though it was only a minute long). However, this was a really good experience as it forced me to explore new options and discover the 'flow' of the scene. Despite my one-take not going as well as the multi-take, I'm excited to explore this way of filming more in the future, even if it's not used in the edit, to help establish a feel for the character's movement and discover new ways of filming and editing.

🌟 Embracing Change: My Journey into Documentary Filmmaking 🎥 In my mid-30s, I took a bold step and switched careers to something I had no prior experience in. It's been a year since then, and here’s why I did it: Pursuing Joy and Challenge: Life has a different meaning for me now. My first priority is to thoroughly enjoy what I do, and a big part of that is problem-solving and embracing uncertainty. My previous role had become too supervisory and managerial, running on autopilot, which honestly felt mundane. Craving Adventure: I realized that I thrive on a bit of adventure and physical effort in my work. The previous role had turned into a desk job, which wasn’t fulfilling. Falling in Love with Documentary Filmmaking: While I was still involved in media work, I became more passionate about impact storytelling and creating shows. I discovered my inner innovator and knew I wanted to create something meaningful. Once I quit, I realized the magnitude of the learning curve ahead. This kick-started my journey into the unknown, beginning from the ground up with PORTFOLIO making. Here's how it's going so far: Brand Film on Biking: I made a brand film about one thing I thoroughly enjoy – biking. (Go check it out now!) Artist’s Life Documentary: I’ve finished the production of a documentary on an artist’s life and am currently in the post-production stage. Travel & Food Show in Kerala: I'm planning to shoot a travel & food show in Kerala, with shooting starting on 29th July. All of this has been done mostly alone or with the help of one or two professionals. The journey has had its emotional ups and downs, and it's challenging to wake up every day and embrace the slow grind. But guess what? I LOVE IT. 💪 #CareerChange #DocumentaryFilmmaking #Storytelling #Adventure #ImpactStorytelling #NewBeginnings #NeverTooLate #PassionProject https://lnkd.in/gyh2deS2
