Sentient AI Robot picks up new hobbies - Unreal Engine 5 short | DREAMWAVES
A sentient AI robot in a post pandemic destroyed world picks up new hobbies.
Sci-fi post apocalyptic short done in Unreal Engine 5.
Second Runner up in @RokokoMotion 's #madewithrokoko "New Beginnings" challenge. I never got around to adding sound and doing a full breakdown so here it is. Done in #UE5 , the project was completed in 23 days of sleepless nights. The challenge tasked us to take animations from #Rokoko Studio and create something around the theme of new beginnings.
I love sci-fi and this happened when Covid was a recent memory so the story follows a bunch of utility robots in a post pandemic post apocalyptic world. A robot decides to learn some new skills to impress his friends. He performs a song, the irony of him wishing Happy New Year to his audience that are the hundreds of dead bodies laid in a field in the quarantine zone.
The short also draws influence from The Big Lebowski film and the trifecta of the Dude, Walter and Donny (Hence the robot name Donn-E). Also I love Love Death and Robots and their three robots episode is one of my favorites. I wish to direct something like that one day as Sam says at the 13:13! :)
The making of the story was interesting as I saw a bunch of examples in Rokoko Studio's example library and then took a couple of days to think of a story around this actions of playing piano, fighting stance, typing on keyboard and singing.
For sound, I used TTS services to get a singing autotuned version of the song with the lyrics representing the end of the world for humans but a new beginning for these machines. I used Melodyne which has a unique feature to turn any song into musical notes that can be played on any instrument. I turned it into Piano and got an instrumental version of my original song.
I would also like to give a massive thank you to @RokokoMotion for hosting the challenge and for the prize! Much thanks to Sam from Rokoko, Clint from @pwnisher and @PeterFrance from @CorridorCrew for giving their valuable feedback and kind words!
Also a round of thank you to @quixeltools shaders that allowed to create beautiful surfaces. The city was made entirely using @KitBash3D 's free Neo City kit which has only 6 buildings, so if you are smart about your city layout, you can create so much with less!
If you would like to see more such cinematic shots with extended breakdowns, like and comment so I know what to upload! Bunch more such shots coming up from previous challenges I participated in.
