“FROZEN KNIGHT”

“Frozen Knight” is an exploration of visual storytelling using real-time filmmaking tools and techniques. It captures a frozen moment in time that is full of life and death on a faraway battlefield.

Inspired by Adam Berg’s classic spot “Carousel” for Philips, the iconic “bullet-time” sequence in the Matrix, and so many others.

It was created using a combination of custom and kitbashed assets from the Unreal Marketplace, BigMediumSmall, Unreal Sensei, Richie Mason, and more. Thanks to them and the countless artists and developers around the world for helping make this kind of storytelling possible.

My background is in filmmaking. And while I’ve produced a fair amount of content using Virtual Production as Producer and Virtual Production Supervisor, this project was a personal challenge to continue to push my creative boundaries and to build new muscles as a Storyteller. In many ways, this was a chance to personally experience the highs and lows of being “on the box” as an Unreal Environment Artist, Unreal Technical Artist, and more. It gives me an even deeper appreciation for those beloved artists who wear those hats day in and day out.
