Title: Cyberpunk Unreal Engine Test Scene
Work: Hollywood Animation Academy Project
Application(s): Unreal Engine 5
Created: 4 February 2025

During my studies in Game & Interactive Media Design, I grew intricately familiar with Unreal Engine in its use for games. But in February of 2025, my knowledge of Unreal was tested in a different way: for cinematography. I was tasked to recreate a screenshot of a scene in a cyberpunk “Neo Tokyo”-esque setting and bring it to life. Armed with a camera sequencer, a set of motion captured animations, and a variety of models, I succeeded in doing just that, with my final product being praised for its set-dressing and lighting choices that brought a gloomy atmosphere to a city of neon.
