Cinematographer Greig Fraser talks about using UE on Dune: Part 2, calling it an incredible tool in pre-production. I wholeheartedly agree that planning and previsualizing complex shots 🌅, in a virtual sense - even if you plan to shoot them on location 🌎 eventually, is a great creative gift. It’s not only useful for creatives but also for production management 📋 and creating replicas of a location to map out your production village, and more 🚐🚗. We built a prototype app that lets you explore such virtual environments and digital twins using a VR headset I predict soon, Google will just have this as a paid plug in 🌐. It already has its tiles available for development but I’m talking about using your phone as an instant Cine camera actor 🎥 (enabling UE tools on mobile) and allow multi user experience, on a persistent (metaverse) digital twin geographic location, in high definition. It will become ubiquitous to the process, weaving in unity the virtual and the real world. Using Google and UE: https://lnkd.in/gYPfmtX3

How many people are needed to work together to create an animated film? How does the director develop alongside the characters they bring to life? And how do these works get selected to participate in the most prestigious international film festivals? Péter Vácz, a versatile and experimental animation filmmaker, can be seen through the interpretation of Attila Hartung in FOMO: Megosztod, és uralkodsz (2019). Many people think that animation is only suitable for creating cartoons for children. From the life path and history of Péter Vácz, we couldn't be more wrong: due to its technical capabilities and freedom, animation is a genre with limitless possibilities and a perfect tool for interpreting stories with a personal tone aimed specifically at an adult audience. ☞ The Ways of Creation series offers a glimpse into the career paths of individual MOME alumni in the form of special portrait films.

Happy to share my new project, animated short film "Prajanize" To explain the phenomenon of Sergei Parajanov, Yuri Mechitov came up with the term "to parajanize", which means to exhibit oneself, to epathise, to challenge, to provoke, but above all to create one's own world. This term fully describes the idea of the film. "Prajanize" is a reflection on the inner freedom of the artist, which cannot be contained by any restrictions. The desire to see beauty and the understanding of its value help to create art that can change the world. Watch on Vimeo: https://lnkd.in/eexVkQfG #animation #shortfilm #stopmotion #motiondesign

Bump the lamp. Reflecting on the timeless classic, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," I'm struck by the film's pioneering spirit and attention to detail. As one of the earliest examples of seamlessly integrating animation with live-action, it set a new standard for cinematic innovation. In a memorable scene, Eddie Valiant's incidental interaction with Roger Rabbit, masterfully portrayed by Bob Hoskins, led to what is now affectionately known as "bumping the lamp." This meticulous detail, where Roger's head nudges a nearby lamp, adds an extraordinary touch of realism to the animated character's presence. Behind this seemingly minor action lies a testament to the dedication and artistry of the filmmakers. Countless hours were spent refining this subtle effect, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to authenticity and immersion. "Bumping the lamp" serves as a powerful reminder of the profound impact that even the smallest elements can have on the viewer's experience. It highlights the magic of filmmaking and the importance of craftsmanship in creating truly unforgettable moments on screen.

It's always nice to see individuals from the Unreal Fellowship program paying it forward to the industry I love. Hussin Khan has taken his next step forward by writing a very comprehensive guide on "Virtual Filmmaking within Unreal Engine 5". Being an author and instructor takes time and discipline. Those traits are clearly on display in Hussin's book. Hussin takes the reader though a guided step-by-step process of what's necessary to produce a short film in Unreal Engine. The book is loaded with clearly illustrated examples, solid writing and all the while Hussin infuses his Unreal knowledge with practical real world information on cinematography, storytelling, worldbuilding and more. It can be very confusing to understand all of the steps necessary to create your own animated work of art but with Hussin as your guide, you'll have a tome of knowledge right at your fingertips. Well done Hussin Khan! Great job on completing this long venture. It's amazing! Pre-Order here: https://lnkd.in/gWDRxkfV https://lnkd.in/gsBqnxYV
