Oryctes

Cinematic Short Film

(REAL-TIME)

ORYCTES marks our second cinematic short film following the success of The Last Tree, which is from almost 10 years ago. Utilizing the cutting-edge capabilities of Unreal Engine 5, we embark on a journey to push the boundaries of both technical prowess and artistic expression. We also used tools like 3D Face Scan and motion capture, to craft a visually stunning and emotionally compelling narrative. 

Production timeline: 3 months
