THE ROUGAROU

Body animations were created with an Intel D455 camera and iPiSoft, clean-up done with MotionBuilder, and facial animations were created with Live Link Face. All shots rendered with Unreal Engine 5.3 and exported into Premiere Pro for the edit. Audio mixed in Audition. Credits made in After Effects.

​

The Rougarou was an experiment in creating a cold open style cinematic for a longer creature feature horror animation, using markerless motion capture and Unreal Engine 5. We were heavily inspired by shows such as X-Files and Supernatural. The original was created over a period of 6 weeks, from storyboarding to final render (seen below).

 

I took responsibility for sourcing assets, object animation, camera work, environment and lighting design, and completed the sound design for the final edit.

​

The final cut seen below is a reworked version of the original cut, completed three months apart. It features some new animations, a complete lighting and audio overhaul, improved camera work, and a new ending scene.
