Cairn - A Gloomsong Tale | Animated Short Film (2024)

I spent the past 3 or 4 weeks making this short film in Blender and Unreal Engine 5. I've never used Unreal Engine, so it was a huge learning experience. The story is near and dear to my heart and I hope that shows through. Thank you all for watching!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm self taught, so I believe anybody can do it. I'll be making tutorials once I figure out the best subject matter and format to do so. Hopefully it will help!
