This was my final project done during my Professional Training at École NAD-UQAC. By producing every aspect of the production pipeline for Virtual Production , I was able to refine my skills in terms of modeling, texturing, lighting, sculpting and animating. The whole level runs in real-time in UE5 and possesses the actual blueprints to run in a Virtual production set , a Volume. Here is as well the storyboard and animatics, as well as the final short film titled The Messenger. The whole project was shot in 2 hours in the only virtual production set in Montreal (to date) at the MELS production company.

A impressive club in the year 2100 is filled with dancers and patrons, lost in their revelry when a mysterious man dressed all in black and wearing a tinted face shield enters the space. His delivery is of the utmost importance, the Megacorp has been clear. and they are not to be trifled with. The recipient: the ruthless owner of this fine establishment. The content of this suitcase has the potential to stop the coming gang war...or spark it into a wildfire!
--------------------------
Un club impressionnant en l'an 2100 est rempli de danseurs et de clients, perdus dans leurs réjouissances lorsqu'un homme mystérieux tout de noir vêtu et portant un écran facial teinté entre dans l'espace. Sa livraison est de la plus haute importance, la Megacorp a été claire. et ils ne doivent pas être pris à la légère. Le destinataire : l'impitoyable propriétaire de ce bel établissement. Le contenu de cette valise a le potentiel d'arrêter la guerre des gangs à venir... ou de la déclencher dans un feu de forêt !

Il s'agit de mon projet final réalisé lors de ma formation professionnelle à l'École NAD-UQAC. En produisant chaque aspect du pipeline de production pour la production virtuelle, j'ai pu affiner mes compétences en termes de modélisation, de texturation, d'éclairage, de sculpture et d'animation. L'ensemble du niveau s'exécute en temps réel dans UE5 et possède les blueprints qui permettent de rouler de
la production virtuel, le Volume. Voici également le storyboard et les animatiques, ainsi que le court métrage final intitulé LE Messager. L'ensemble du projet a été tourné en 2 heures dans le seul plateau de production virtuel à Montréal (à ce jour) à la maison de production MELS.
