Learn Unreal Engine 5 by Making a Short Film in Under 60 minutes! No experience needed.
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 KZread 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.
Thank you mate. Ok took me more than 1 hour to work for first time this tutorial today. But from zero skills, to adding a character, animation, cameras and exporting the clip time flew today. As finishing this message, going to make a new sequence to tweak the whole scene for training purposes. Again thank you.

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. Subscribed.
