CGI Sci-Fi Short Film: 'Lander' by Han Yang | CGMeetup

Lander Sci-Fi Short Film is my latest personal project. The story is about an alien explorer on his mission to a new planet, during his descent into the atmosphere he discovered a spaceship wreckage hidden in the jungle. Landed not far away from the crash site, he has to go through a dense forest where wild predators have him already surrounded….

This film has been in production for almost a year and half. I’ve been trying really hard to push myself by taking on most aspects of the production, from asset, animation all the way to compositing and sound mixing.

The majority of this film is rendered in Unreal Engine real time, composited with elements rendered from Vray for final. Having gone through countless technique difficulties and creative challenges, the final film has exceeded my expectations. I'm really proud to be able to share with you my work and I hope you enjoy it.

Great thanks to @Ben Erdt and @Perry Leijten for sharing the humanoid character rig&asset in this film. Also @Vick Gaza and Perry for the big monster asset. Their work on characters are just mind blowing.

As with so many of these cool videos, the artists get hired, forgets about their exposure reels and leave us with unfinished stories...while we wait....and wait...and wait....for the ending that never comes.

[kirthlycarty]

I would love to see at least 2hours of something like this trailer. Real tough no BS warrior. Love this short film.

[tidalopda]

One of the best animators alive bro and I appreciate that👍👍👌

As much as this is reminiscent to sources such as Predator and HALO to me, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I hope a part 2 actually does make it to CGM.

[AngelaSmith]

This is amazing! A full length feature film is asking too much but the compliment is there. Can't wait for part 2!

When?

When I saw the chains over the other object I honestly expected to see him up against some kind of humans. This was much better.

Всё шо сейчас могу сказать .
Это ; самая ценная атмосфера, та, что в жабу через соломинку не влезла . И чем её больше, тем ты живучей .

[DVizzion]

Exactly the Predator movie I was waiting for, the story of a predator in deep space hunting the most incredible of monsters. No more fighting that is now not interresting anymore. We want a Predator story of a Predator in space and that is the Predator of the first Predator movie before he comes to Earth.

This NEEDS to be a FULL LENGTH MOVIE..

[CherryBlossomKid]

Honestly, I would love to see this as a full-length film.
My only minor qualms are how similar the main character (I won't assume he's a protagonist) is similar to a Predator. Not just in features, but in combat behavior too. That fact that it's so noticable is distracting. If you were to create the character design a little more original, like the other creatures, I'd be completely invested.
On a good note I feel there's a story behind this animation that I'd love to see. And the animation itself is wicked awesome! The CGI is so realistic I almost thought it was live action! *This was truly a treat to watch.*

[keshtfiu]

I wish some big producer make a completely alien movie - aliens only, in alien galaxy and no humans. It will be so interesting and fresh idea! I still hope for complete movie some day (in my lifetime)!

Predator in Marine ship, landing in Skyrim and fighting Deadroths

[SkaarjRogue]

The leaders of Skaarj clans approve of this film. A sum of Tarydium credits has been deposited on your account.

[Mira-bjzr]

That was a scary looking dude at the end. Like "predator" found who he was looking for.

[michaelkantner]

It is just incredible how far CGI has come since the 1990's. Now most CGI created characters, monsters, and aliens are so life-like it's unreal. I love this kind of science fiction, it's exciting, and gives you a rush. I have to see the sequel!! I need to know if the Predator-like alien reaches the wreckage, and has to fight the big monster.

[Prasad-kfrh]

Watching before going to sleep, thanks CGMeetup.👍

[qazawatzirak]

Is that you ? All hail Unreal Tournament <3

[kekel_s]

A year of production?! Holy shit, congratulations man!

[johnsmith]

Nice vid, great CGI. Eagerly awaiting a sequel!
