The Organist (film)
Appendix Horizon (The Organist): 11:46
2021-2022
For my Graduate Thesis in Sculpture and Extended Media, I wrote directed, and created this short film.
I used Blender, Substance Painter, and Unreal Engine to generate the geometry and animations for this project.
The film was edited in Premiere Pro.
Some of the highlights include:
static and skeletal mesh asset pipeline via Blender and Substance Painter
Custom Blueprint program to deliver captions with flexible input
facial motion captured using ARKit
real time dynamic volumetrics
