Unreal Engine 4 (compositing with real footage) 

This is scary and mind blowing. So many traditional film industry jobs will vanish in an instant when this is used all the time.

The bottom part is cool, the top one is full of green walls, very ugly.

Anything renderers faster than After Effects at this point.

Hello everybody! In the comments, many ask to write about the workflow. In this work, the workflow is short as follows. Sorry for my english!) Based on the references, we created locations in Ue4. Then we animatic the camera movement, which allowed us to see how the finished video would look like. Then we started filming the actors in the green studio, placed markers on the walls and recorded their distance from each other. Took the information about the lens distortion. We put all the light on the actors the same as was done in advance in Ue4. We shot on Red epic with DJI ronin in 5K maximum quality. In post-production, the shots were edited with all the actors' lines and music. Camera tracing in 3d Equalizer soft, after which the data was imported into Ue4 via Cinema 4d (Ue4 does not understand the 3d Equalizer format, so we did the Datasmit project in C4d). The render in Ue4 was with Ray tracing enabled. (On average, 1 scene 1 hour 30 min render in 3k on rtx 2080ti). Fog and foreground were rendered separately with an alpha channel). In after Effects I removed the distortion of the lens (3d Equalizer preset). Removing the noise ( Neat video plug) then chroma key was made standard ( Key light, Refine soft matte plugins) and light wrap effect with RGB correction of graphics and video images. Then I returned the lens distortion and noise. Finally, color correction Lumetari color plug. it seems everything)

Boy, what I would do for tutorials on creating these UE worlds and compositing. Excellent work.

Matchmove artist here - give whoever dressed that set a raise. Pretty sure theyre the only person on earth putting that many tracking markers on

I was under the impression that this was done in Nuke compositing with 3D frames exported from Unreal. I didn't actually realise this was composited all inside Unreal Engine 4, that's just incredible! Shows its ahead of everyone else!

I'm surprised at how clean these keys look!! Really nice work.

This proves that green screen is still the king.

absolutely incredible, this is such inspiring work! also your music is next level

I cant remember the name of the danish movie director that a few years ago was talking about the coming "democratization of movie making", but I think technology like this is going to create a whole new area of possibilities including real-life streaming content that we can't even imagine at the moment. Unreal Engine 4 is absolutely amazing.

Next step is replacing human beings by virtual characters and then voices by synth voices. The technology is getting there.

I lost count of how many times I yelled "WHAT" while watching this, this is absolutely incredible work

"I was surprised that Unreal Engine rendered frames faster than After Effects" yeah, it's almost like it's a game engine designed to render 3d objects in real time

Awesome job Sergey!!! Glad to see people making it their mission to push boundries. Keep up the great work

One of the best video to demonstrate what virtual production is !

We went from two rectangles duking it out in ping pong to a full-fledged interactive playable movie.

holy crap wow! Not sure what or who's more impressive, the software engineers or the artists!

This is what Neo was talking about.

I have seen many green screen footages before but this video has epic music felt like future is here

Gaming industry is going to have to get way more actors for the games, really cool

Incredible... without the screen showing the REAL footage, I would have thought that they were really in an office. Then again, the desert area definitely has realism but can be easily determined as fake. It's not the graphics, it's the situation and logical reasoning could prove that this was... well... unreasonable.

How do these actors take themselves seriously.. they literally just makebelieve life

Bottom: what you thought life was going to be for you when you grew up Top: what life is now that you are grown up

Wait, wait, wait. So you're telling me this is not an ad for UE?! Who are you guys, like WHAT!?! I for real thought this was an ad.

Games with that graphics would break the wall of gaming and reality

Guys, let's make a video that is 3d tracked in syntheyes, modelled in maya, textured in substance, keyed in nuke and then throw it all in ue sequencer so ppl will think it's amazeballllls!

This is very impressive for the 'Unreal Engine'. Wait till you see how the 'Real Engine' works.

I don't understand what's so revolutionary about this? All of the environments are so clearly VFX. They might be nice looking, but they don't look real.

If you pay close attention to the details, you see the engine is better than reality. Baudrillard would be be proud..ly scared.

not only the engine doesn't exist, your reality too, amazing.

Here before a million views, this is a really cool video

Amazing mirror reflections of the people in the Windows.

Needs to be run through Nuke/Davinci to get the colour grading correct, fix the green in the chromakey, match the tones correctly and adjust the levels. I still see the people as being brighter/over the top of the composite.

stunning work! Im still asking myself why Im not using unreal engine. Its astonishing to see that all of a sudden some softwares comes out of nowhere placing themself as a gamechange, like Unreal or Embergen

Plot twist they edited the green screen onto the bottom footage

really yes... congrats it is nice ! cheers from Rio

old people will be getting the curtain pulled over their eyes and they won't ever know

How the teacher expect a student presentation:

3DS MAX: Takes the length of this entire video to render 1 single frame. AfterEffects: Wish i had that. Every software essentially: You cant even afford us anymore, we are SUBSCRIPTION gang now.

The music makes it so much more awesome

Очень круто! Вы - настоящие профессионалы!

Unreal Engine - the video equivalent for corporate music.

Weird that they’d overlay such a cool office with a bland green room

That looks, pardon me, UNREAL!

I just watched the why green screen looks fake video and THIS looked so wrong it's so cool

So much potential... *showing boring corporate commercials

We want a UE5 version now . Heard great things.

Amazing 3D

this is how "successful coach-investors" shoot their commercials in elite offices, in a barn with a green rag

I almost hit the like button the second time!!! 😂 that’s really unreal and terrific

WHAT A GEN TO LIVE

Mind boggling

if only corporate life was that cool

encredible

Very cool! The next challenge is glass objects, water, and hair that isn't glued to the head.

Yeah, I've been thinking about this and here it is.

that last cgi was nuts ❤️

In the future, maybe filming activities will be rare. They make movies, all from their computers.

Incredible

excellent

Looking amazing! Beautiful 🥰

Plot twist, the top footage is the Unreal Engine footage.

HOW? Amazing tecnology

I am just so glad Unreal was able to steal all these ideas from the community and white papers and put them into a product for sale. Pretty Unreal.

Wow, mind blown. I need to get in on UE4

That's it... I'm gonna make a blockbuster in my garage

Now you know how nazza&Co fly to "space" 😂

Wow! This is something you can't say is unreal (I mean the normal screens) until you see the green background. One of the good things (in my point of view) is how easy people like me can make beautiful videos without special tools.

Astounding work

*We have become the gods!* 😳😳😳

Great Job! i LIKE IT

Great work!

if they can use this on a live broadcast on TV, it would be amazing. I still remember when our local TV introduced Hologram technology

all those commercials were fake YOU HAVE RUINED MY DAY

new world of possibilities

Кругом сплошное наживалово. Красиво очень. Контраст "живой картинки" и оригинальной огромен.

0:04 I'm pretty sure that is Kevin Spacey.

This is unreal!!!

Nice. Unfortunately, around 0:49 the head of the man has some keying issues for a short moment because it's not covered by the greenscreen material.

Unreal

We were so distracted by what could be, now we don't know what is.

I love technology like this

the metaverse!

Determined, the salesman looks into the desert, ever on your trail. “Silly mortal, no distance or terrain can keep you from my extended car warranty offer.”

amazing work

we neeeed a tutorial of the whole workflow asap this is amazing

This is actually insane

This level of visual realism and they made fortnite with this

One word: Magic!

Very good work, A+ quality

Now imagine unreal engine 5 after its release.

Amazing.

How can one game engine A freaking game engine can make some high budget VFX for movies or even projects..... Now this is something unity can do but not in this much high level

Looks so unreal.

Amazing work dear

If Facebook metaverse looks as good as this then more people will join, I think

unreal for sure

Thanks to all geniuses who make this possible

Nice
