Part 2 of 3
These three videos show my virtual production filmmaking approach for creating an animatic using Unreal Engine for my Megagrant recipient feature film x0dus. This channel documents my process as I progress on the movie, through work throughs and tutorials using all of the software, cameras, shooting techniques and behind the scenes processes to create a feature film using the latest cutting edge technologies available for the solo artist.
My process is always evolving and I'm learning as I go. I make mistakes, I don't have the best approach and I talk too much, however the information is super valuable to myself so I can remember what worked and what didn't and how I solved a problem. So I'm sharing the videos in the hope that they may be of help to other VFX filmmakers in the community.
For those who what to cut to the chase I've made timestamps. Thanks!
