Awesome guys! We are currently learning Unreal Engine ourselves and it's shorts like these that help give inspiration!

[@imagin64]

I see film like this in my mind all the time ♥ imagination and joy

[@MistaYin]

I want to learn this stuff. Recently downloaded unreal. I want to make a short film using my 3 year old as a main actor.

[@FreeFromWar]

This should be a real movie. That was beautiful storytelling without even using any words.

[@rosesareredbutzerglingssti9290]

"Storytelling"?! What storytelling??? I don't understood a sh*t of what happened. Disliked.

[@MySickstring]

The opening shot of the planet and the backlit shot at 1:56 were mind blowing. Truly looked real.

[@ayojukes]

This kept my attention the entire time and is really well made great job

[@CinematographyDatabase]

Looks amazing, well done!

[@sauravbanerjee5921]

Just got here from your Reddit post . & I must say I have made the right decision. Purely astonishing ..

[@foccxy]

that is absoletly stunning! Looks like it was made by a thousand people!

[@MrPhife333]

I just love a short film with a clear, well laid out plot, and a satisfying unambiguous ending. Fantastic animation BTW!

[@devijankowicz9491]

Wonderful images, incomprehensible story

[@filipsperl]

There were some details that didn't quite cut it, but otherwise I was totally amazed by how realistic everything looks. This was seriously a movie level render. I'm surprised that more film studios don't turn to guys like you for their effects, it would probably also be much cheaper

[@Nashfanfl13]

DUDE what happens NEXT will there be a followup? You guys did a great job.

[@ritualenfilm3976]

Thanks! Yes we are trying to get a funding for a longer film, and this shortfilm could work as a intro :)

[@13gears]

Amazing!! Please continue your work to make full movie!

[@dann_craig]

stunning! excellent work!

[@gladiusso]

How come this hasn't been recognized more. This is absolutely amazing

[@MrJev]

This is just amazing, even ignoring the amount of time and effort that must have gone into those incredible visuals, the sound design is a major part of what makes this short film so engaging and interesting. Very well done guys.

[@johndicus123]

I like this. I'm trying to visualize a way to use 3D like this with my Mandelbulb3D artwork. I just now got my first UE video done! You did a stellar job (no pun intended). The level of detail is great..... you now have one more new subscriber! I can't wait to see what else you have, and what's to come in the future!

[@olliejudge]

This is phenomenal guys. Any plans for a dev breakdown of how you put it together?

[@ritualenfilm3976]

Thank you! Yeah we are definitely doing a breakdown of this, we´ll post it on here on our channel asap!

[@digitalsketchguy]

Good idea. They could even monetize it via a Gumroad download if they included some assets & PDF files on their creative process.

[@TheWorldBelow360]

Eyah! That gave me the willies. Not many can do that. Those We Don’t Know Shit About The Cosmos Willies.

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

Great sound design. I find it hard to believe that their's only one 3D artist. Fantastic. What does the producer do on such a small project? Was there a script and, if so, who wrote it? Thanks for sharing your art.

[@justendippel]

Incredible short film! Congrats to everyone involved on the project. This piece is very inspiring.

[@Fafmagic]

Pretty good. The night time stuff looks awesome, almost indistinguishable from offline CGI work, but the moment it switches to day time, it looks immediately like a film made in a game engine. That scene needs some work but overall this is a great advert for what can be done in game engines. I suspect you’d have greater joy with that scene in Unreal Engine 5. Keep it up.

[@HansCarrillo]

Great job. Love the cinematography.

[@infiniterealities4D]

Great job!

[@reece6364]

Holyyyy molyy! Absolutely incredible.. must've taken a lot of PC Power to do all this.. What are the specs of the computer? lmfao

[@ritualenfilm3976]

Hi! Sorry for late reply. It's really nothing special with the specs - a gaming computer with some more memory. Processor: Intel i7-8700K @ 3.70GHz Memory: 64GB Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 1080 Ti

[@Enzait]

Creepy! Nice work!

[@peaceraybob]

Once again, we have an excellent demonstration of just how beautiful and artistic UE movies can be, along with the fevered delirium-dreams of the hallucinogenic-addicted junkies who make them. Bit of a twofer, if you will, but one I've seen a LOT among the more highly skilled UE users.

[@efnissien]

At around the 04;00 min mark, it goes really 2001 - minimal music & sound. Quick cut from the field to the gateway. Really good!

[@Drahoslav_Lysak]

Awesome! :)

[@CreativeSteve69]

This is hihgly impressive immersive work well done guys. I'm a self-taught learning UE5 and houdini myself this past year alone. I'm trying to make immersive games of my own and interactive movies. This is a huge inspiration keep up the amazing work. I would see this in theaters.

[@momakkjj9502]

I’m going to learn ue5 in 2022 so I can create cinematic war short films in like a series way.I also going to learn 3D art and also good luck with your interactive movies and games!

[@ManuelOrbeaOtaola]

i do not know if real time gameplay grapichs will get this good this generation but CUT SCENES WILL look amazing!!

[@yellowslicepictures]

Brilliant work

[@cgxprabir858]

I've been wondering how i can achieve such wide cinematic resolution, I'll trying to find it by myself but couldn't able to make it, can you please help me out?

[@SazSupreme]

this is so beautifully directed and animated! and the sound design... wow

[@cgj5132]

This is the soundtrack to Corsair’s “Build your masterpiece” video…

[@richardpaus5741]

ooooor is that the soundtrack from The Gateway?

[@majdijm]

I like it so much and appreciate if you could make a sessions of training how you did it.

[@ritualenfilm3976]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4nCYaB6iLp5gJY Here is our first breakdown, hoping for more!

[@Fordeyyyyy]

Nice work! Quick question though - is everyone rendering their films in 24fps just because we're told it's what we're supposed to do? This looks like a lot of design effort just to have a blocky render, and I think these great scenes and settings would benefit from a slightly higher frame rate. Maybe it's just me

[@Alternabear]

Beautiful!

[@melraine919]

[@mariand.1087]

Now this is awesome. I'm learning Unreal and I have used the same tree asset at the end of this video in one of my level experiments lol. It's kinda low poly so I understand why it was intentionally out of focus. Also, after the tutorial from the channel Unreal Sensei, doing planetary views seems like it's actually the easiest part of this as long as you have some quality textures. Also, since people are asking about rigs in the comments, I'm using an i5 with 16 GB of RAM and a GTX 1060, built around 4 years ago. As long as you don't multitask too much when using Unreal, it handles the job just fine. I would have expected the RAM to be the bottleneck, but rather the CPU is the one screaming to be left alone when compiling stuff. And funnily enough, the GPU is almost idle lol.

[@gladiusso]

Also, I hear Film Crux SINGULARITY!

[@mtimothy292]

How it's happen that movie like that with such an effort has only 2,7 k likes?
