Isolated during quarantine and searching for creative collaboration, actor and tech entrepreneur, Eric Bear, assembled a team of animators and filmmakers from around the world to explore what might be possible using remote performance capture and Epic Games’ MetaHumans for Unreal Engine.
Our team embarked on a fully-remote exploration aimed at answering the following questions:
- Can virtual people effectively express authentic emotions?
- Can audiences be touched, moved, and inspired by performances captured using free software and off-the-shelf hardware?
- Can multiple artists direct, shoot, and produce high-quality episodes from their home studios during a global pandemic?
The result is an innovative 10-episode drama series that sits at the intersection of live action and animation. Welcome to Belonging.
