The Story Behind 'Robo Ramen'
'Robo Ramen' is a short animated film that was developed as a submission for Epic Games' Unreal Engine Short Film Challenge.
The Master of Animation and Visualisation students were one of 7 successful educational teams selected from more than 2200 registrants.
Following their selection, the students received two weeks of training using the newly launched games software Unreal Engine 5. They then got to work creating this animated short film in just 8 weeks.
The 28 masters students worked tirelessly to develop the story, characters and environments, then build, collate and animate the assets (including metahumans and motion capture), then added music and sound to the project.
Meet The Team
As a collaborative group project from the Masters of Animation and Visualisation students at the UTS Animal Logic Academy, the 3D animated short film 'Robo Ramen' has been developed from the story idea, through all stages of production by the student group under the guidance of the team of Leads who directed and supervised the development and production of the project.
