Filmmaker Statement

Game engines and the new virtual production technology seems to be a gate to the future of filmmaking. Especially for my kind of lonely wolf who likes to make everything by my self. The opportunities that internets 3D model libraries offers combining with these new real time graphics and softwares gives are endless. Now we can make virtually any shooting location that we can imagine, build there any kind of a scene. We really live interesting times of filmmaking. The Dust Seeker is a post-apocalyptic animation made with the Unreal game engine. Character design applications and many available 3D assets have been used in the production. The short film is inspired by Chopin's familiar Nocturne melody, whose arrangement by musician Sebastian Pangali brings a new perspective to the story. The animation created by Olli Huttunen demonstrates the potential of virtual production and what can be done today as a one-man production.
