What if I told you the future of filmmaking isn't just about what happens on set, but what happens inside a video game engine first?
Recently, my production company took on a challenging project: a short film about Alzheimer's Disease that required complex camera movements, intricate dance sequences, and seamless transitions between memories. But instead of creating a traditional shot list or storyboard, I tried something different. I decided to shoot the entire film... before I shot the actual film.
Using Unreal Engine, performance capture, and a lidar scan of our location, I created a complete digital version of our story. Crazy? Maybe. Overkill? I thought so too. But what happened next completely changed how I think about filmmaking.
This video is not a promotion. The short film was created in collaboration between my production company, Northwoods Revolution, and Morgan Middleton's produciton company, Morgancity. The other film shown in the video, Erlkönig, was also a collaboration with them, and can be seen here: https://youtu.be/b6sOfSKFXOs?si=YAdiMJCPIftKQWbb
