• 🎬 “Cinematic Exercise – The Chase” (Unreal Engine 5)

Role: Cinematic Designer | MetaHuman Animation, Camera, Lighting, VFX

This short cinematic sequence was built as a real-time storytelling exercise using Unreal Engine 5, focused on mood, performance, and visual rhythm.

Created using:

  • 🎥 Sequencer for layered camera movement and shot pacing

  • 🧠 MetaHumans for performance capture and animation

  • 🌫️ Lighting + Fog for atmosphere and tone

  • ✨ Niagara VFX for environmental dust and ambiance

  • 🏛️ Environment built using assets from the Dark Ruins pack by Quixel

Edited in Adobe Premiere Pro

Color graded in DaVinci Resolve

Cinematic Designer | Camera Animation, Lighting, VFX

Stylized cinematic study focused on tone, tension, and reactive worldbuilding. Designed as an exercise in atmospheric storytelling using layered camera motion, timed VFX triggers, and controlled lighting transitions.
Created entirely in Unreal Engine 5, using Sequencer for camera animation, Niagara for dust and light-reactive effects, and dynamic lighting with Lumen, and Exponential Height Fog for depth and tone.


Final editing and polish in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve

Unreal Engine Cinematic – My First Step into Cinematics using game engines

This is where it all begins, my dudes - my first cinematic using Unreal Engine 5.4.4, and I had a blast! Working with assets from the UE Film Academy, animation rigs from Mixamo, and Terribilis Studio’s converter, I had an absolute blast blending my film knowledge into this project. From shot composition to pacing, it felt like directing on a virtual set, where everything just clicked as the pieces came together.

What I Learned So Far:

  • Animation Workflow: Setting up and refining character animations using Mixamo rigs and UE 5 assets.

  • Cinematography in Unreal: Translating film techniques like framing, movement, and lighting into a virtual environment for cinematic impact.

  • Asset Integration: Combining assets from different sources, troubleshooting compatibility, and making it all flow seamlessly.

  • Rendering & Sequencing: Using Sequencer to time out shots, apply post-processing, and give it a more polished cinematic feel and look.

What’s Next:

This is just the beginning. I’m planning to update this page regularly as I learn more, creating more dynamic cinematics with better storytelling, smoother animations, and custom environments.

Each new cinematic will be another step in the journey. 🎬🚀
