You Again | Cinematic Short Film | UE5

YOU AGAIN is a personal non-commercial project I wanted to do as an exercise to keep learning Unreal Engine 5 and practice cinematography.

A spy lurking in a large canyon awaits the arrival of an "old friend" of the Empire at a secret base.

I've learned a lot throughout the different phases of the project. From creating the storyboard to the concept, modeling, and texturing of the landing pad and the spaceship. Also happy to implement Metahumans in the workflow.
The main inspiration for this worldbuilding, as you can see, has been Star Wars.

It has been a great challenge to tackle the various phases of the project, and considering that I've only been using UE for about 5 months, I'm very pleased with the result and everything I've learned!

Some notes on the technical aspect:
- Rendered with Lumen in Unreal Engine 5.
- Terrain and landscape outside the canyon made in Gaea.
- Clothes of the spy guy from the Artstation Marketplace.
- Animations are a combination of Mixamo and hand tweaked animation inside Unreal.
