NOTE!!! Updates for 5.1+
1) 1:25 - To load same level with the chairs, go to File-Open Level, and choose All/Content/StarterContent/Maps/Minimal_Default.
2) 28:28 - You'll "rt-click, CINEMATICS, level sequence" instead of "animation, level sequence"
If you want to make a short film in UE5, but not sure where to start... then this tutorial is for you! We'll start a new project, learn the interface, grab some free characters and assets, "animate" them, toss in some cameras, and output a short film - it's that easy!
When you are done, post your short on KZfaq and add a link in the comments! C'mon, it's just for fun, the sillier the better.... can't expect too much for 60 minutes, we'll keep the bar low :)

@@3dJC I've been using Blender a long time, and teaching it, a bit.. I'm having my first real look at UE, which is, of course, overwhelming. I'd hate to make you self conscious. But you focus really well, filter out the salient features really well. You seem to have planned really well. While you acknowledge that you're skipping detail, (you have to,) you lighten the subject, and reassure really well. I've no hesitation in subscribing, and I hope your teaching skill rewards you really well, one day, if not already.

Man your videos are so adictive. It's 3 in the morning, my eyes are red but still want to see more. With this only video you cleared away questions I have had for ages. Here is a suggestion for future videos: how can I export assets and animation from Blender to Unreal? I know there are plenty of videos and tutorials out there, but you add that special 'teaching' approach where everything becomes easily understandable. Keep it up doing more of this!

I will add to what others have said and noticed. You teach in a way I like to learn this. I am not brand new to Unreal, but there are still things that eludes me, and some of that was covered in your video, simply because you take it step by step and treat the viewer as new to this. Too many tutorials skip along quick because they think it is some kind of tiktok video, or they muddle the teaching by not having it clear in their mind before they record. This was just spot on.
