Want the shortcuts to filmmaking and cinematics in Unreal Engine 5 in one video? This is for YOU! I'll teach you my top 3 secrets I learned recreating the War on Arrakis from Dune Part 2 in UE5
Here's what you'll learn in this video...
- Go from BORING to CINEMATIC using Unreal Engine 5
- Add Stock Footage and EXPLOSIONS into your own films!
- Why your LIGHTING might be holding you back (and how to improve it)
- The shortcut to create Camera Shake without leaving Unreal
- How I animate high-speed action sequences FAST
We'll use UE5's Sequencer to animate and keyframe the cameras and shots complete with Explosions and FX. It's going to be action-packed, so watch until the end!
Much love to the entire team at DNEG for creating the amazing VFX in Part 1 and Part 2. I think Dune Part 2 is even better than the first, so check it out in theaters while you still can!
In this video we're creating a BRAND NEW SEQUENCE - The War on Arrakis complete with Explosions and FX. It's going to be action packed, so you won't want to miss it!
Want me to cover something specific? Leave a comment and I'll do my best to include it!

This was excellent thank you. I've just finished my first Unreal Short I've been working on and struggled to get the realism spot on. I'm a little limited by my GPU but even so I need a to focus more on my realism and this went a long way in showing me the way. Thank you.

Youtube Recommended your video and I'm so Thankful, Really great stuff man, BTW, I was wondering do you need any editor for your videos?
-

would be amazing to have your advice/thoughts on our Indie Fantasy Movie we are in post production... The VFX is a head scratcher... I am currently doing it all myself

8:00 howwww??? dont just say "use flares and templates" tell us wich and how u use them, also pls for blender compositor translation...

Hey Josh! Love your stuff. One thing I'm curious about that I feel is missing from UE5 YT creators is a little more clarity around legal with UE5 and assets. UE5 is free to use, great! But what happens when your story or picture gets sold? What happens when your picture contains megascans assets, or assets with vague licenses on epic marketplace? Would love a video breakdown on this that's more ELI5, I think the community would eat it up! Thanks!

-
how to add exr in unreal engine?
-
Do you have to add point lights to make the explosions cast light, or could you use Ray Tracing to make the explosions themselves emissive?
-
what is the platform you use at 1:56 called?
-
Did anyone record the masterclass or anything
-
As much as this is good for beginners, it's far from perfect, the actual explosion should be clipped and should produce a lot more light, the stars shouldn't be visible, what I don't understand is that on you day shots it looks good. Needs more smoke, debris, haze. And the sharpness is too much it should be softer.
