DESIGNING UNREAL BACKGROUNDS

Another exciting step forward for The Smolderkin.

Using Unreal Engine, we built a virtual environment for an upcoming proof-of-concept shoot. Today's goal was to bring one of our handcrafted marionette puppets and a practical miniature set onto the virtual production stage to begin exploring scale, perspective, and how seamlessly we can blend practical filmmaking with immersive digital environments.

Seeing the handcrafted elements and virtual world come together for the first time was an exciting milestone. There are still plenty of refinements ahead, but each test brings us one step closer to the cinematic world we're building.

The journey continues...
