Short film made for Flex Steel in September of 2025. FilmLaab team handled Audio and Sound with a third party. Owen Jenkins Design handled all aspects of writing, real-time animation, VFX/compositing and editing. Project brief was very open allowing for almost full creative freedom on all visuals. I selected Unreal Engine for the speed Lumen gives in rendering large environments in real-time. All animation, VFX and compositing was completed to final pixel in 4 working days.
