I Recreated This Shot from Dune in 4 Hours!
Learn How I Did It 👉 http://unrealforvfx.com/dune

Before Quentin Tarantino finally nails a shot on-set...

He always does one extra take! Why?

"BECAUSE WE LOVE MAKING MOVIES!"

Or at least that's what EVERYONE shouts on-set!

Well, this morning I woke up with a FIRE IN MY BELLY. I've always felt like a filmmaker at-heart, and Unreal 5 gave me the chance to make my own films in real-time (just like on a movie set)

If you haven't seen already, I made the city of Arrakis in one day entirely in Unreal 5.

I'm preparing for the Dune Masterclass (tomorrow at 8PM EST) 

But I want to overdeliver BIG TIME, and reveal some of my greatest tricks to create Hollywood-level VFX shots in record time.

So I sat down, set a timer for 4 hours and got to work! This shot was clearly inspired by the Attack on Arrakis from upcoming Dune trailer. 

Once you have FX, Lighting, and Stock Footage all working together in REAL-TIME, I truly think that anyone can become a filmmaker and make any shot inside their head using Unreal 5.

I'll breakdown all my workflows so YOU can do the same thing. I'm holding nothing back and giving my best secrets away!

WHY?

BECAUSE WE LOVE MAKING MOVIES!

If you love filmmaking and VFX and want to level up your tools. This is aimed at complete beginners and industry pros thinking about migrating over to Unreal 5. I 100% believe you can use Unreal Engine in production and to make your own films, and I'll teach you how!

Join the Dune Masterclass at unrealforvfx.com/dune

We're going live Thursday 8PM EST, but if you enroll on our website, you'll get access to the recording afterward! (48 hours only)

P.S. This was only possible thanks to these free Explosion Elements from Compositing Academy, which I quickly graded and brought into Unreal 5! Check out their site for great comp training!
