The Future of Previz - Collaborative Filmmaking in Unreal Engine

Explore how Unreal Engine is revolutionizing previsualization and collaborative filmmaking workflows in this 47-minute conference talk from Unreal Fest Bali 2025. Learn from Dane Armour of Prior, who brings over 15 years of film and VFX industry experience, as he demonstrates how Unreal Engine accelerates preproduction processes and enables real-time creative collaboration. Discover the practical application of these techniques through Armour's work on 'Babiru,' an Epic MegaGrant-supported sci-fi feature film proof of concept, where he collaborated remotely with director Nguyen-Anh Nguyen to produce 17 minutes of animatic footage in weeks rather than months. Master the use of Sequencer for rapid sequence blocking and swift exploration of alternative creative ideas, transforming traditional rigid previz workflows into dynamic, flexible processes. Gain insights into leveraging Unreal Engine's real-time collaboration tools to make faster creative decisions, boost productivity, and enhance storytelling capabilities in modern filmmaking.
