Workshops devoted to creating film projects in the Unreal Engine 5 environment, which will introduce participants to the world of virtual film production and interactive 3D narratives. The classes take the form of practical exercises under the guidance of an expert. During the course, participants will build their own animated scene, developing skills that will enrich their portfolio.

Workshop programme

• Introduction to Unreal Engine 5 – learning about the interface, basic tools and workflow of the programme.
• Building a virtual environment – creating a 3D space, introducing models, lighting, cameras and characters.
• Creating a film narrative in UE5 – telling a visual story using shots, camera movement and frame composition.
• Cinematic Workflow – the basics of working with the sequencer, animation and preparing scenes for rendering.
• Exporting and finalising the project – correctly preparing and exporting material for presentation.
• Practical project – starting work on an animated scene based on references, from concept to render.

Workshop participant profile

The course is aimed at people who want to gain practical skills in creating cinematics in the Unreal Engine 5 environment. We invite:

• filmmakers and visual artists who want to expand their skills to include real-time production,
• 3D graphic designers and game developers interested in cinematic storytelling,
• students of animation, graphic design and film studies.

The workshop does not require advanced knowledge of UE5, just basic knowledge of 3D and a willingness to learn in an intensive, practical format.

Participants must bring their own equipment and the latest version of Unreal Engine 5.6.
