Project: “RISE”

 
 

apathy caused the revolution…

RISE gives just a glimpse of a world that has been handed over robotic overlords humankind created. In this episode we learn that Man lost his freedom not from a huge war, but because We willfully let it happen through apathy.

RISE is the 2nd chapter in my anthology of shorts.

Production Notes:

RISE is a new short made with the Unreal Engine which I have recently started learning.

Animation- almost all animation has been hand-tweaked by me; head snaps, running, walking, etc

Lighting - The shots and scenes were lit as they would have been if these were real, physical sets. The only (great) difference is that the software allows you to hide the light source so we never had to worry about it being in the shot!

Camera - the software mimics many of the real camera settings and adjustments one would have in the real-world. This made it more seamless to transfer into the software world knowing the camera can be set to use 50mm lens with an aperture of 1.4 for example!
