How the short was made, including how Wētā FX used Unreal Engine to craft the film’s stylized look and feel.
See director Dave Mullins, visual effects supervisor Keith Miller and animation supervisor Aidan Martin (both from Wētā FX) in conversation with Ian Failes from befores & afters.
We discuss WAR IS OVER! Inspired by the Music of John and Yoko, the Oscar-nominated animated short crafted using Unreal Engine and inspired by the music of John Lennon and and Yoko Ono’s ‘Happy Xmas (War Is Over)’.
This is a fun conversation where we discuss emotion, look, using new real-time tools in animation, performance capture, bringing an overcranked feel to war scenes and more.
Check out the conversation below, plus a gallery of final stills from the film, and a new featurette.
