Congratulations to Eva Ziemsen, Umer Noor, Matthew Mazza on being awarded the League Innovation of the Year Award 2022 for their project, “In-Engine Virtual Production - A Collaboration between GAME and FILM."
MADE IN ENGINE was a curriculum collaboration that produced a program of films that was produced entirely virtually, using Unreal Engine at Humber College. It was a collaboration between the Film & Multi-platform Storytelling program and the Game Programming Program. During one semester, the film students wrote the scripts, created storyboards, shot-lists and the game students imported and prepared environments using UE Marketplace assets. Virtually, they 'filmed' the films, shot by shot, and finally picture edited the films. Music and a sound design and mix followed and the final films were completed. This project is an example of an approach to the Virtual Production pipeline that does not require a studio. Further, it allowed students in different program and different clusters of FMCA to collaborate and learn each other’s technical and creative languages to better communicate if they transition into the industry in this burgeoning field.
Thank you all for your dedication in creating an innovative and engaging learning experience for students!
