Unreal Engine 5 Project Showcase

Damn it, Larry!

I’m excited to present "Damn It, Larry!", a 1.5-minute short film inspired by the iconic stormtroopers of the Star Wars universe. As a lifelong fan of Star Wars, this project allowed me to explore my passion for 3D storytelling through Unreal Engine 5.

"Damn It, Larry!" showcases a variety of complexities, from initial storyboarding and set design to 3D modeling, cinematography, sound design, and color grading. This journey highlights my end-to-end capabilities in creating hyper realistic, movie quality, immersive 3D cinematics, demonstrating both the technical skillset required and a creative vision.

Breakdown pt 1

Storyboarding: Crafted a detailed storyboard to highlight the gravity of the situation, dramatically shifting perspectives through the eyes of the new character.

Set Design: Designed the spaceship entirely from scratch, incorporating custom decals and dynamic lighting. The stormtrooper models and TIE fighters were sourced as free assets from online platforms, seamlessly integrated into the environment.

Cinematography: Utilized dynamic camera angles and movements to amplify the narrative, employing wide panning shots to emphasize the scale of the clone army and effectively establish the setting.

Lighting: In Star Wars, lighting is crucial in creating an atmosphere of intensity, evil, and impending doom associated with the Empire. I meticulously positioned various types of lights in each shot to enhance the mood and depth of every scene.

Sound Design: Sound design was pivotal in bringing the project to completion, unifying all elements into a cohesive experience. AI-generated dialogues were incorporated to introduce an innovative layer to the soundscape.

The following images highlight the set design and modeling, providing a better understanding of the creative process and attention to detail involved.
