We’ll take you on a journey into the depths of the rabbit hole. In this Epic Games Masterclass, you’ll learn from different professionals how to work with the Unreal Engine and how to use the most effective workflows in the shortest amount of time. Your mentors will teach you what makes good storytelling and how to create your script and storyboard in the shortest time possible. In workgroups and in individual sessions you will continuously expand your skillset. You’ll have your animation ideas brought to life live in a motion capture studio, and well-known guest speakers from around the world will inspire you and bring you into direct contact with them.
This is not a normal online training. There is no consumption here: You are a member of a strong selected group from day one, highly motivated to work together towards the goal of generating the greatest short films. The best films will be published by Epic Games at the end! Seats are limited. Take the challenge and book in now!
