YOU SHOULDN’T FEEL LOST IN THE COMPLEX WORLD OF UNREAL ENGINE
Are you a filmmaker wanting to take your movies and ideas to the next level?

Or you’re an industry pro, comfortable with Maya, Cinema4D or Blender, but the transition to Unreal feels steep and intimidating
HEY FILMMAKERS AND VFX ARTISTS! I’M JOSH TOONEN
You might not recognize me… but you’ve probably seen my work! For the last 8 years, I’ve been working as an Artist and Supervisor on Hollywood VFX for movies like Star Wars IX, Dungeons & Dragons, and Across the Spiderverse

BUT THAT’S NOT WHERE I STARTED!
Ever felt like the odds of “making it” were stacked against you? Me too. In fact, I grew up in a small town with zero industry connections… and dropped out my first semester in college… But, I had a burning passion for filmmaking and a love of cinema. And I would stop at nothing until I learned how to make the films I loved watching at the movie theater.

But it wasn’t until I learned Unreal Engine 5 that I got to live my dream: working on-set for the Virtual Production of Avatar the Last Airbender There I was, controlling the World’s Largest LED Stage. Surrounded by studio lights, cinema-grade cameras, actors and extras. It was everything I’d dreamed of. The massive sets. The buzz of the crew. Building sci-fi and fantasy worlds and bringing them to life! It was like the movies I loved, but I was in them.

UNREAL ENGINE 5
Never get shaky, out-of-focus footage
Never rent another Camera
Never buy another Lens
What if instead you could film in any location in the world…
the Arabian Desert, Icelandic Glaciers, or a galaxy far, far away…
all without leaving your room.
What if you didn’t have to beg your friends to be your makeshift crew, only to deal with
last-minute cancellations and amateur results?
You could eliminate all of it!
But more importantly…
What if you could have more creative freedom?
What if you could actually create the movies you want to watch?
