Creating a cinematic short film in Unreal Engine from scratch and all of the tools I used along the way. Unreal Engine has changed the way I make films and I want to show you why I’m addicted to filmmaking with Unreal Engine.

    Hey, I scanned that skull! This is so cool to see. Love learning all the ways people are using our scans to build cool worlds and projects. Feels like the tip of a huge iceberg!
  • @gdlahood
    Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been using unreal for quite a while now and I’m so addicted. Real time tech is the future and it is only getting better. If you’re not sure about whether or not you want to start learning unreal, you totally should!!
  • @shadowshapers
    One of the coolest things that I learned was about the Tangram Heightmapper plugin. That detail alone was well worth me clicking on this video. So thank you for that tip! And for the inspiration.

    Bro you got that voice that ages like wine, please do not deprive people off your voice, I trust u wont because you are a narrative director yourself. God bless 🙏🌟

    This is crazy good for one guy. Props to you mate. The future of films within the next 10-20 years is going to be insane with what people will achieve in their rooms 😳
  • @petecrouch8277
    Josh, this is awesome, the hours you must have put in to learning all this is mind blowing. Well done sir, love it
  • @jackoremus2438
    This is an awesome video. Thanks for sharing all this and looking forward to seeing what you create! 💪
  • @PaulMessner
    This was fabulous. I’d love to able to add some of this to my content. Well done 👏🏻
  • Making shots and scenes in Unreal Engine 5 is just so fun and creative. It's probably the best film making tool invented since the film camera was invented. Why I say that is it allows you to build and design worlds and animation but also to film your world at photoreal detail. Then you can change the scene, lighting, camera or actor placement in realtime ! which is totally amazing.
  • @waleeza
    When you show yourself it looks off and greenscreen vibes but you are way ahead of everyone else 😅
  • @chrisquigley
    Journey To The Center Of The Earth kind of vibe going on here. Beautiful. Great job. You are getting better and better. This video is inspirational and encouraging. Thank you.
  • @fastchaostv
    Such a great video mate!! Been waiting for this for a while and it’s epic!
  • @gnoel5722
    wow really nice bro. I think your render could be 50% more realistic with 4 small additions: 1. @6:23 and @6:33 imo you should crank way up the wind effect on your foliage/tree in the background(I can hear the strong wind from the top of a mountain but everything seem static) Also maybe add a tiny touch of the free default leaf falling animation throughout your scene 2. I can see you added a ''flicking light'' from the fire on your face from the shoot which is nice but I think if you put a soft orange flicking light accross your scene it would have been nice also. i.e. @6:06 or 6:29 on the stone light beam thingy. 3. @6:56 the scene kinda seem flat i think adding 1-2 set of the free default animated flying birds over the mountains would of made it more alive and I wouldve cranked up the beam light effect also to really draw the viewer attention 4. a) a free default animated dust/small rocks effect falling from with the stone thingy when it start turning and stops. b) your turning animation of the stone seems non-linear: it seems like it slows down before stopping but the sound you put make it seem like it hit a hard stop. I think a linear rotation ending with dust flying at the end would of made it more dramatic like it hasnt been used in a long time. But it is all small things and your filmmaking is really good! I subscribed. can't wait to see more.
  • @NxGDE50MErK
    That was freaking amazing. The fire and human face looked so realistic.
  • That's amazing! Thank you for sharing, totally new to Unreal Engine and so looking forward to playing around with it knowing I'll be able to create something as amazing as that.
  • you are a genius 👌😊 its like a showcase of what UE can do .. i am inspired to begin learning as you did !! thnxx again
