Finger Guns: Pre Vis Side by Side (Unreal Engine 5/ Polycam)
Before shooting my new short film Finger Guns I decided to make an Animatic or pre-vis version of the film to help plan out what the final product would look like. For this side-by-side comparison, the animation has been retimed.
This process started with me 3d scanning the location using Polycam. Once I had My 3d Scans optimized in Blender starting setting up my scene inside Unreal Engine 5. From there it was a process of blocking the film with virtual actors, setting up virtual cameras then rendering out the shots.
This is an oversimplification of the process, this took a long time to put together but this was an essential part of this film. On the day of Production, the ability to show the crew and talent of the animatic was an amazing way to communicate what a certain shot had to express or what the camera move looked like.
I am working on an in-depth tutorial on the whole process so stay tuned for that!
