Story Development with Virtual Production in Unreal Engine

Watch this video and find out how to visualize your story using virtual production workflows in Unreal Engine. This video course will take you on a deep dive into Unreal Engine virtual production workflows for story design, including the use of live mocap, virtual cameras, editing the timeline, adding sound and adjusting lighting, and more. Discover how UE can help you get to your best ideas faster, with quick concept exploration and iteration, as well as how immersive collaboration brings creativity and fun to the process of hashing out different story avenues. Using the engine, you’ll step into the characters shoes and see the story through their eyes, bringing fresh new perspectives on the narrative. We’ll also take a look at the various workstreams involved in visualizing a script using a real-time engine, including location scouting, performance capture, and breaking down the action.
