What makes this beautiful crafted and moving film extraordinary is that it was made entirely without cameras, lights, or any crew at all. Part of an exciting new movement known as “real time film making”, it was created inside the Unreal Engine gaming platform.
Director Tim Greene is passionate about exploring the power and potential of new film-making technologies . “Whether it’s using AI text-to-video prompts, or real-time 3D animation, the days of photorealistic film-making are approaching fast. It’s both scary and extremely exciting. There’s no stopping it, so the trick is to make sure that you’re on the right side of history!”
