Project Overview:

Title: Angel vs Demon
Duration: 3 months
Team Size: 12 members
Software Used: Unreal 5.2, Adobe Premiere Pro, Perforce

My Role:

In this collaborative project, I played a pivotal role in crafting captivating visual effects (VFX) and contributing to the overall production of the cinematic. My primary focus was on creating meteor shower and black hole effects, infusing the scenes with dynamic energy and intensity. Additionally, I utilized my expertise in video editing to enhance various segments of the cinematic.

Project Evolution:

Originally conceived by the character modelers of this project, the project began with a simple premise of two monsters engaged in combat. As the team expanded, we embraced diverse creative input, ensuring that each member had the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the cinematic. For me, this meant diving into the realm of VFX, where I seized the chance to improve on my VFX abilities. In addition to working on VFX, I extended my support to the animation and lighting teams, leveraging my proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro to assist with editing and sequencing tasks.

Technical Proficiency:

Utilizing Unreal Engine 5.2, I leveraged the Sequencer and Niagara systems to craft the cinematic and my VFX. With the Niagara Fluid System, I created the meteor shower effect, while for the creation of the black hole, I employed HLSL. In the cinematic, I utilized the Unreal Sequencer to precisely control various elements of the visual effects and synchronize them to create dynamic effects. Additionally, using Adobe Premiere Pro, I seamlessly integrated audio elements, refined visual sequences, and polished the final output to achieve a cohesive and impactful narrative.

Collaborative Spirit:

Throughout the project, collaboration was key. By actively engaging with fellow artists and sharing our skills and insights, we were able to elevate each aspect of the cinematic, from character design to visual effects and editing. My adaptability and willingness to assist in various areas of production underscored our collective commitment to delivering a polished and memorable cinematic experience.

Conclusion:

This cinematic project exemplifies the power of teamwork and creativity in the realm of digital artistry. Through collaboration and dedication, we transformed a simple concept into a visually stunning and immersive narrative. I am proud to have played a role in its creation and look forward to embarking on future projects that push the boundaries of visual storytelling.
