Electro Blue – Into The Unknown
United States / English / 4 min / Animation, Music / 2022

This is a music video I created using the Unreal Engine, Daz Studio, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Autodesk Maya, and Epic Game’s MetaHuman Creator. I also recorded and produced the music (a cover song from Disney’s Frozen 2 movie) using Logic Studio and it is my voice for the lead vocal. The video took quite a while to produce / create (several months actually) because I’m just one guy doing everything myself and I had tons of technical issues along the way that I had to overcome, but I persevered and got it finished
