Hi guys, I tried to make this smooth transition in After Effects. #aftereffects #transition #aftereffectsanimation #motiongraphics #videoediting #videoeditor

Behind the scenes 🎬 For the past couple of days, my team and I have been diving deep into the world of performance and motion capture technology. Specifically, we've been focusing on "tiling" the scene. You might be wondering, what exactly does "tiling" entail? Well, let me break it down. When working with a motion capture volume, there's a limit to the number of people we can load into the system at once. So, when we need to capture a scene with a crowd and can't bring in additional performers, we turn to tiling. Tiling is like solving a massive puzzle. We use the same set of performers (say, 10 individuals) to represent a larger group, sometimes numbering in the dozens or even hundreds. It's all about moving them strategically, giving them different actions, and ensuring every part of the scene is filled seamlessly. This process not only challenges us creatively but also pushes us to use our imagination to bring unseen elements to life (as you can see in the picture, it looks like a strange game of hopscotch) Working with motion capture technology is truly an incredible journey of creativity and innovation. I'm excited to show the final result once this movie comes out, another one for the books! 🐋 #MotionCapture #PerformanceTech #CreativeChallenges #ImaginationUnleashed #TechInnovation #ProductionCoordinator #BehindTheScenes #MovieMagic #FilmProduction #OnSet #filmmaking #filmandtv #Movies #MovieMaking #Sfx #Stunts #FilmIndustry #FilmSet

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

The Filmmaker's Mindset: Making the Most of Available Tools Filmmaking is as much about mindset as it is about equipment. It's about viewing each piece of gear, no matter how simple, as a potential to create something extraordinary. With the Canon T7i, I learned to push beyond its limitations, finding ways to make it work for my vision, an exercise in creativity and problem-solving. The M6 Mark II's journey echoed a similar sentiment. It wasn't about what the camera couldn't do, but about exploring and maximizing its capabilities. This mindset shift - from focusing on what I lacked to maximizing what I had - was transformative, making me a more resourceful and imaginative filmmaker. These experiences reinforced that filmmaking is not about having the best tools, but about using your tools in the best way possible to tell your story. #FilmmakerMindset #CreativeFilmmaking

Just as athletes hit the gym to refine their physical prowess, us filmmakers must practice our craft to sharpen our skills and elevate our artistry. In the world of filmmaking, the ability to perform under pressure and deliver exceptional results is paramount. Just like athletes train relentlessly for crucial competitions, we too must invest time in perfecting our techniques, readying ourselves for those pivotal projects. Think of it as honing our filmmaking muscles – consistently pushing boundaries, refining our techniques, and mastering our craft. Each practice session serves as a stepping stone towards excellence, preparing us for the challenges that lie ahead. Recently, I delved deep into perfecting my lighting setups, particularly experimenting with achieving a "day for night" look. It's a technique where we shoot in broad daylight but create the illusion of dusk or nighttime. Through practice and experimentation, I've honed my skills to create compelling visual narratives that captivate audiences. And I'm thrilled to share the fruits of my labor with you all! Let's continue to push boundaries, challenge ourselves, and strive for excellence in our craft. Together, let's embrace the power of practice and unlock our full potential as filmmakers. #Filmmaking #PracticeMakesPerfect #VisualStorytelling #DayForNight #FilmProduction #CreativeJourney

When creating a story with a Character type, try creating multiple stories with the same character. Imagine your character’s stories being apart of a multiverse. Each universe you create with the Character has its own unique Story. Then pick the best one to be picked up for filming. It is perfectly ok to build stories out of already existing characters to interact with yours on the front end as on version of your story then change all existing characters to 100% original characters who may be similar to turn your story into an original Story.
