STAR WARS: THE GREY - TRAILER
Показать описание
'The Grey' is a cinematic concept trailer set in The Old Republic!
It was made as a tonal representation of a live action script I wrote back in 2019. When I finished the script, then brought some of the characters to life working with concept artists, I became obsessed with the idea of seeing these characters move. This is my fist time diving into Unreal Engine. Over the past two years I've taught myself enough to mostly accomplish what I was going for, and evolving along the way. What started off as an idea for a few select simple shots, turned into this behemoth. Like I mentioned, this is my first time diving into Unreal, or any kind of CGI for that matter. I'm an editor by trade, so while I'm familiar with VFX and work flows from that standpoint, I am in no way an artist. There are so many things I would love to fix here given the time, but I felt like it was the right moment to finally put my pencil down and let this thing fly.
I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did creating it. There's a bit of a story summary of the film below.
For a deeper look at 'The Grey', follow me on instagram.
"Set thousands of years before the events of Skywalker -- during the GREAT GALACTIC WAR of the OLD REPUBLIC, 'THE GREY' is a galaxy sprawling space epic that deals with the psychological ramifications of manipulation, loss, and conflict within one's mind.
Apprentice to the Sith Lord, DARTH MALGUS, MHOLLAR is a hardened Emperial General with a strong connection to The Force. Years prior, a young and eager Darth Malgus abducts the newborn Mhollar from his parents the very night he emerged into the galaxy. The blood thirsty tyrant, laying waste to Mhollar's young family.
Malgus, raising the child in his own image, imprinted his ruthlessness, tenacity and combat prowess onto the young boy. However, the task proved challenging as the boy's natural essence repeatedly rejected the Sith ways. After 30 years, Malgus succeeded in transforming Mhollar into the hardened warrior who stands by his side, head of the Sith Lord's army. However, conflict still clouds Mhollar's mind. The powerful dark side user still at odds with his true self."

Thank you to the amazing community of Unreal Engine users out there that offer countless tutorials for free! The few I constantly went back to were @JonathanWinbush @WilliamFaucher @3djc @jobutu @solomonjagee and @jsfilmz
Special thanks to my wife, who dealt with me moonlighting with these instead of hanging with her a lot of nights! Also thanks to my friends who've heard me talk about this nonstop and continued to give constructive feedback even though I was probably annoying.
Shout out out to @topshelfnerds for my amazing new logo and the media push to get this out here. Truly a one of a kind human!
Special thanks to Amanda Gormon for her beautiful words that perfectly sums up my story. Even more so, all of Star Wars. “For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it”.
