I was scared of Unreal... so I made a film with it
True Story: A year ago, director/animator Aharon Rabinowitz had never touched Unreal Engine. Then he took our 6-hour course Unreal Engine for 3D Artists, with Jonathan Winbush, and kicked off his Unreal journey. 365 days later he completed Metal Heart, an animated short film.
In this video, follow Aharon on his journey in creating Metal Heart using Unreal Engine and After Effects. He’ll walk you through the motion capture workflow, creating VFX, color grading, motion design, sound design and much more. Packed with a bunch of mini tutorials full of useful tips and tricks in both Unreal Engine and After Effects, you won’t want to miss this!
