Unreal Engine Live Demonstration for Film and Animation

Unreal Engine has become one of the most powerful tools transforming animation, game development, and virtual production. This 45-minute moderated session provides a hands-on introduction to Unreal as a creative environment — demonstrating how real-time tools are reshaping the animation workflow and bridging the gap between film and interactive media.

Through a live demonstration, participants will see how a simple animated scene comes to life in Unreal, showcasing real-time lighting, animation, and rendering capabilities. Along the way, the session will highlight how these processes could connect not only animation but to both game design and virtual production principles.
