THE STORY
In late 2019 at Playgrounds Berlin, my friend Jama Jurabaev and I started talking about making a promo trailer for Jama’s 3d asset company Big Medium Small. The goal was to showcase some of the asset packs in a trailer format utilizing Unreal Engine.
This trailer format however didn’t feel fitting for this project, and when I started working on the story it was apparent I was drawn to more of a narrative driven film format. Big Medium Small pride themselves in creating assets that help tell stories, so instead of making just a trailer, I thought there’s no better way to support this statement than by making a short film.
After about a year of learning Unreal Engine on and off, I’ve finally arrived to a point where I felt comfortable using it to create this short film we’ve talked about almost two years ago at this point.
PROCESS
I’ve been completely enamored with the filmmaking processes in Unreal Engine, so instead of my usual written making of, I wanted to document and present my thoughts on said processes in this narrated video.
BIG MEDIUM SMALL ASSETS
Except for the graphite blocks which were handmade with zbrush and substance painter, every asset used in the film is pre-made and available at Big Medium Small.
