An armored knight holding a torch in a dark cinematic environment

Build a world. Find a story.

In this self-directed study, I explore an Unreal Engine 5.6 workflow with Rokoko motion capture and VDB effects. The environment became the starting point for a story told through movement, light and tension.

Visual description

A 1 minute 44 second atmospheric narrative scene. An armored knight advances through a dark environment by torchlight. Created as a self-directed Unreal Engine workflow study.

An exercise in atmosphere.

I explore how an environment can communicate before a character says a word. It is an independent experiment, not a client commission. View the original film for its full presentation and creator credits.
