- It was a dream come true to be a part of the Unreal Engine Virtual Production Spring 2021 Fellowship.
I have wanted to be a part of this since the day I installed Unreal Engine and learned about Virtual Production.
In the five weeks I attended, I had the pleasure of meeting some incredible people, which I want to thank for making this experience truly amazing. Thank you to my mentor, Mariana Acuña Acosta, to David I. García, David Williams, Sean Spitzer, Emanuele Salvucci, Jet Olaño, just to name a few.
And a special thank you to Brian Pohl, Rebecca Perry and Epic Games for offering this Fellowship.
One of the highlights of this Fellowship...and there were many, was that I created a short film where I used the Metahumans, created by 3Lateral doo Novi Sad.
I combined motion capture data from Xsens, MANUS™, Faceware with the Live Client plugin for Unreal, by Glassbox Technologies to animate my characters, on my new workstation customized by Puget Systems and coming equipped with the RTX A6000 from NVIDIA Design and Visualization.
Character model originally created by Ega Dyas and customized by PixelUrge.
Music and SFX from Epidemic Sound.

Nice work Gabriella.
This is what's up! LOVE the facial mocap, the best I've seen come out of the Fellowship yet. Well done.
I couldnt have made it to the finish line without you!

Really good work Gabriella! Well done animation work! Hope for you more cool project opportunities!
Wow, what an honor coming from you! Love your channel! Thank you!
hahahaha nice ending!
Yes , very well done !!! 👍😀
Love it, brilliant work!
Congratulations! Great work on the film! Especially liked the shot at 0:55!
Aww thank you so much! That is by far my favorite shot as well;)
Nicely done Gabriella, tons of work my gosh!
Thank you so much, Alex!!!
Amazing!
And it all comes together. Well done, superb job on it. Great animation and production. You deserve it. :-)
Thank you! You are too kind!!
I love it :) Well done Gabriella :)
Oh Solomon! Thank you, from one of your fans!
I'd love to get into some mocap stuff, have metahumans setup correctly, and do something similar. I'd like to see the VA improved a bit more, the heads should move more with the facial animations (even in the helmet), and the sound design is a tad rough. But it's cool you're working on the bleeding-edge!
Hi! Thank you so much. You are so right about the heads. So what happened was, the body I used (not metahuman) I had to attach the head to the Spine 3 bone (for a reason)so I lost all head movement lol! Good catch on that. As far as the audio....lol dont get me started. I know.. I know haha. First time syncing audio with face mocap. In unreal it synced up perfect, but when I brought it into Premiere...that is another story. I will say I learned a ton, made a ton of mistakes and glad I tried. Total newbie question, what is VA?
@@FeedingWolves I'm so glad you did too. You are working with the future! ;) VA is 'voice acting.' Keep it up!
Very cool . Kinda f5cked up ending though lolol. #exisded
Very cool, I hope to get to this storytelling level soon. I must say though, I notice the same thing here I notice in my work myself. Sound design is way harder than I thought :D
Thank you so much! And yes, sound design is definitely my weakness lol!
Well done! I think the most interesting part was the sync for the speech. Can you share how you were able to clean up the mouth movement to match the speech so well? This has been the biggest downfall to mocap in Unreal so far.
Hey! Thank you so much. Actually the lip sync was off. It was perfect in UE when I added the audio, but when I rendered out and brought in the png sequences to premiere, I messed up and did not convert the png sequences back to 24. I rendered them out in 24fps, but Premiere interpreted them at 29.99fps. Had I converted the png sequence in Premiere correctly, the lip sync would have lined up perfectly like it did in UE.
If you bring in the audio track into UE and add it to sequencer, your face/audio should sync up perfectly. Making sure to always keep an eye on the fps being the same. To fine tune, I baked the face animation to control rig, added the audio track and just went through and added keyframes using an additive backward solver and then added some extra expressions. Once I was done, I would bake to a new animation sequence and add that to my final sequence. Lol not complicated at all right
