The next generation of filmmaking isn't coming from Hollywood, it's coming directly from the filmmakers who force their movie into reality.

Obsession dir. by Curry Barker was storyboarded in Unreal 5
Backrooms dir. by Kane Parsons was prevised in Blender
Flow dir. by Gints Zilbalodis was animated 100% in Blender
War is Over! dir. by David Mullins won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film and everything was rendered in Unreal 5

Now it's your turn!

You could have an Oscar-winning movie trapped inside your head but, it'll get stuck there if you don't turn that idea into a timeline.
​
Using Unreal Engine 5, I've been able to storyboard any movie idea from Godzilla plane battles to shootouts to LEGO music videos.

You just need to know The Screenshot Method and you can make a storyboard in Unreal 5 (even as a complete beginner!) without drawing anything by hand.

This Thursday, I'll show you how to edit your movie before you make it in our live Storyboarding Masterclass at 7PM EST

If you're an editor, VFX artist, or filmmaker of any kind, I'll teach you the Screenshot Method to storyboard any movie idea using the WASD controls just like a video game in 3 steps! 
1. Pose Your Characters
2. Position Your Camera
3. Edit your Shots Together in a Timeline
By the end, you'll know how to write, plan, and edit your first movie in Unreal 5, and create a perfect blueprint for your next live action or animated short film!
​
Join the live Storyboarding Masterclass this Thursday at 7PM EST.
​
Everyone who registers will get recordings of the event if you're unable to show up live. Plus I'll remind you right before we go live!
​
Hope to see you there,
Josh
