Today we are sharing this jaw dropping short film "The Explorer" created by Adrian Morris in our Unreal for Filmmakers class! Adrian's dynamic shot design takes storytelling to new heights, and we're absolutely mesmerized by his innovative use of animation through Unreal Engine Sequencer! Well Done! 😎 #virtualproduction #filmmaking #animation #metahuman #epicgames #film #unrealengine5 #unrealengine5cinematic #cinematic #shortfilm

📽 Can you do some CG work on a short film? Recently, a client approached me for some CG and VFX work to be done on a short film. After some back and forth with the client... and because I mostly do product and commercial animation/ CG work and not films... I said Yes 😅 The project seemed super interesting and a great chance to hone in on my tracking work. Anyway, here is a CG/ VFX breakdown of one scene from the film. More such breakdowns and details coming soon! #shortfilm #cgi #vfx #animation

The beauty of slow frame rate! If we think that slow cuts and even slower frame rates are a passe, think again. It's probably Animation 101, but not often do we see experiments with this method, not in newer media at least. It's delightful to watch as the scene builds, delivering something new with each frame...what a process! Something so simple and elegant that most new animators need to be reminded of.

Back to some animation work. A short film based on an family story. #animation #indiefilmmakers #short film #media production #filmmaking #2danimation #framebyframeanimation #kritaanimations

Stop-motion filmmaking is indeed a labor-intensive and highly intricate art form that requires immense patience, creativity, and technical skill. Here's why: 1. Precision and Attention to Detail: Frame-by-Frame Animation: Each movement in a stop-motion film is meticulously crafted frame by frame, requiring precise adjustments to puppets, props, and sets. Consistency: Maintaining consistency in movements, lighting, and composition across hundreds or thousands of frames is crucial to creating a seamless final product. 2. Artistic Vision and Creativity: Storyboarding: Planning and storyboarding each scene in advance to ensure coherence and narrative flow. Character Design: Designing and sculpting unique characters with expressive features and personalities that resonate with audiences. 3. Technical Mastery: Animation Techniques: Mastering various animation techniques such as puppet animation, claymation, or object animation. Camera Work: Understanding camera angles, movement, and composition to capture dynamic and visually compelling shots. Junaid Maqsood
