Dude Where's My Ship - Animated in Unreal Engine in 48 Hours!
Megasteakman presents an alien adventure sci-fi comedy made in 48 hours using Unreal Engine 5 and Mega Mocap VR! Created for the Run N Gun 2023 film festival, we used VR equipment to motion capture a short film about two kids trying to break into Area 51 so they can return their cosmic colleague to their space ship.
You can use the tools we made to create this short film for FREE!
Mega Mocap VR is an open-source motion capture platform that uses SteamVR hardware to animate characters in real time! Learn more here:

Made with a skeleton crew under an insane deadline, there is no way we would have been able to make a film like this without the power of Unreal Engine and the Unreal Engine Marketplace! And maybe I lied about the 48 hour thing... kind of. You see, we did make this film in 48 hours, but then I decided to go back in and add some scene transitions, lighting and a new ending, so maybe it was more like a 72 hour film? Shhh, just don't tell anyone.
