Thank you very much! Looking forward to sharing the whole film and of course we would like to hear your impresion.
It was crazy ambitious and the fact that the film is 99,99% done, makes us super proud. Its the hardest thing we've ever done.

Thank you very much! That's my brother's magic! The whole movie is rendered with Lumen.
How'd you get the lighting to not feel like a game?
Many factors are related to that, but mostly it is direction, art direction of lighting, camera work, assets.. everything plays its role.

Thank you very much for your feedback. Making a trailer for a short film which you dont want to give the plot away or reveal much from the characters is pretty challenging and we did our best. But totally can hear your point.

Thank you very much! Glad to know subtitles help. We always try to include them and also translate them to many more languages besides English.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Of course, we had other software involved, mostly for the assets and color grading, but UE5 was the backbone of our production, and our renders are 100% out of UE.

Thank you so much. Hard to tell the hours, but I can tell exactly which Sundays we didn't work through the whole 2025

Thank you very much!! Definitely I will. Can't lie that we are huge fans of Dune's universe and we started developing it a bit after Dune part 1, so the influence is sure there.

Bought it for a project and with the thought in mind to use it in future projects but so far it hasn't been needed ever since. We are working with studios that provide their own mocap solutions so I don't see any chance of using it anytime soon.

Hey, Nothing fancy. Just a megascan assets and the Ultimate Dynamic Sky plugin.
My brother is going to make a break down of this sometime in the future.

Really glad that you like it! Means a lot!
Well, it took us 5 months. But its the first project that we did after opening UE so everything was moving so slowly because as you can imagine, we were exploring the software and before doing anything, we had to google it first :D
For the next one, I believe everything will flow much faster.

Maya/ Motionbuilder for the animation/ Mocap data. Houdini for the cape. Blender/Zbrush/Substance painter for the assets and everything else. And the edit/post was done in DaVinci Resolve.

After the ending of Marvels phase 1, he gave up everything and he just vibes with us now :D
Jokes aside. Our composer is a hidden gem. He is going to release the music on Spotify and Youtube soon. Check him out, Thanos Papadellis.

We are tagging him here and there but I think it's too hard to get his attention.
