I Made A Cinematic Trailer For A Game That Doesn't Exist - Unreal Engine Short Film

EDIT: IF THIS REACHES A MILLION VIEWS, I'LL MAKE THE GAME TOO! I don't know game design but since a lot of you want the game, I'll learn and share the progress of making this as personally I really want to make a game and this would be the perfect world for exploration to find out what happened to it and why is it like this as you race against time in order to find the cure!

After a long break due to personal reasons, I am back with an original personal project, the trailer for an animated Unreal Engine short film : Blooms Of Arachnis. The inspiration for this comes from two of my favorite shows: medieval epic drama of Game of Thrones mixed with the post apocalyptic overgrown future of Last of Us involving infected people and a mythical flower that grows on the dead.
So excited that I was able to write, create and direct 5 minutes of AAA quality cinematic for the @KitBash3D #kb3dchallenge #SecretsOfLuminara in 3 months time while juggling a 9-5 job. Makes me so proud that out of the 10,000 artists who participated, we were one of the top 10 finalists.

I couldn't have done this without the collaborative effort of the artists who decided to give their personal time to turn this world into reality. A MASSIVE THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to:

@PaulMoranVO for being so talented and kind in helping me find the voice of Caden and literally all the other NPC voices including the super fun "ARACH!" chant in the Raudr theme!

@thecornishvo5106 for being so lovely and flexible to help me find the voice of Elior!

@MarilynRamosVoiceActor for not only being an amazing VO casting director who helped me find the other talent but also voicing the infected woman!

Simone Rizzo for sticking along the ride and creating the beautiful sculpts of the door, the Raudr masks and the calcified statues along with the inner sanctum layout and sculpts! Your wizardry is undeniable brother!

@chehsuantsao5623 for building the two super lush detailed post apocalyptic scenes with the tank graveyard and the abandoned city start to end single handedly! Total MVP!

@andregustavoantunes for rigging custom metahumans for all the main characters and super complex rig assembly of the Raudr King and the backpacks! Best rigger ever hands down!

@JoeRaasch for taking the time to help organize, setup, record and process all the mocap for the trailer! I was dead that day running a million miles in the suit haha.

@arthurbrouns for sticking with me till the last second and creating some of the most gorgeous original soundtrack that inspired so much of the short! Next Hans Zimmer in the making!

Neurosonic for doing the awesome sound mix and foley sound effects!

Special thanks to Mahmoud Rahnama for the dope mocap suit without which I couldn't have recorded any of this and @samuelmeric-lobrador4580 for not only making but also playing the ancient instrument "Carnyx" with such talent and grace! Thank you brother!
Shoutout to anyone else I forgot, thank you for your time!

Finally I absolutely couldn't have done this without the constant love, support and encouragement from my wife Erin Kim who was there when I needed her the most to help me get the project across the finish line.

I hope I get the time + support from all of you guys to make the whole 25 minute long short that goes deeper into the post apocalyptic medieval world with 500 years of rich lore.

I'm planning on releasing a lot of the workarounds, tips and tricks that I learned doing this so join me in this journey!
