Under the mentorship of industry legend William Faucher, he not only honed his skills but also secured a position as a teaching assistant at the online school. During his time at CG Spectrum, Ewald brought to life "MENACE," an Unreal Engine short film featuring a high-energy chase scene, skilfully crafted with the assistance of Unreal's Take Recorder. We delve deep into the process of making 'MENACE', highlighting how Ewald's background as a video editor for extreme motor sports played a pivotal role in crafting such a high energy short film. This episode provides a unique glimpse into the world of learning Unreal Engine, transitioning into a new career, filmmaking, and the art of crafting high-energy scenes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONNECT WITH US http://www.bigtoothstudios.co.uk/thevfxprocess https://www.tiktok.com/@thevfxprocess https://www.instagram.com/bigtoothstudios https://twitter.com/bigtoothstudios https://discord.gg/V37kWumKgx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MUSIC: Motion Array - https://motionarray.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ⏰TIMECODES⏰ 00:00 - INTRO 01:38 - BACKGROUND & DICOVERING UNREAL ENGINE 05:42 - MENACE - THE BEGINNING 08:30 - MENACE - UNREAL ENGINE TAKE RECORDER 13:41 - NEW CAREER IN UNREAL 16:58 - AI WORKFLOW 20:08 - FUTURE PROJECTS 21:25 - REALISM IN ACTION SCENES 23:08 - ADVICE FOR UE FILMMAKERS 24:18 - OUTRO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🎬 Watch 'Menace': https://youtu.be/wDLV52wMFXc?si=9PHs6sfJxpykRt-K 🌐 Learn more about CG Spectrum: https://www.cgspectrum.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This video is NOT sponsored. some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we will receive a small commission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #filmmaking #unrealengine #vfxbreakdown #film #visualisation #animation #vfx #vfxpodcast #bigtoothstudios #thevfxprocess #substancepainter #zbrush #cgspectrum #takerecorder #realtimevfx #virtualproduction #epicgames #williamfaucher #aifilm
