EPIC GAMES X IMAGINATION TEASER FILM
"Imagination brings Hollywood-quality content to brands through our groundbreaking work with Epic Games' Unreal Engine. After receiving an Epic MegaGrant from Epic Games, we've fully embraced real-time virtual production, proving that epic results can be sustainably achieved with little space and manpower. With our expertise, brands can use virtual production to unlock a new world of creative possibilities, offering their audiences an enriched experience across all touchpoints.
As a demonstration of its virtual production and brand storytelling capabilities, Imagination has created a cinema-quality teaser featuring the new Trident 660 from Triumph Motorcycles as an example. Viewers follow the story of a female protagonist Phoenix Jaxson—played by alt-pop artist July Jones—as she solves crime and delivers justice in a dystopian world."
This shoot was a collaboration between Imagination and Epic Games, creators of Unreal Engine. My role was Senior Technical Artist/Unreal Developer, which involved creating and maintaining all of the virtual content shown on the LED screens.The outcome was to have a short 2/3 minute teaser to show off the capabilities of this new workflow.
My role also involved providingo on-hand support during the three shoot days.
This was predominately real-time debugging issues across both software and hardware.
Being the only person on set with a deep knowledge of Unreal Engine, meant that I was responsible for making in-engine changes to affect the scene and lighting at the behest of the Director of Photography.
