Been teaching myself Unreal and built this moody office scene while learning the basics of lighting, VFX, camera control, animation, cinematics, and blueprints. Wanted to make it feel convincingly cluttered and lived-in, which involved placing 600+ props by hand. Sound up for maximum atmosphere.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

All taken from the Fab marketplace. I just made sure whatever I used had a similar look/feel/level of quality. A lot of them are from a company called Dekogon Studios.

Never touched this software before, so it's been a learning experience. Here's what happened when I first tried to animate the ceiling fan.

I can't actually remember, because I must have watched hundreds. I'd just search something I wanted to do, like making rain drip down a window or how to do a camera movement, and just watch whatever came up first on YouTube.

One finally popped up on eBay, but it's A) almost 400 quid and B) doesn't even work, so I don't think this dream's gonna come true any time soon.

If I could go back in time and tell teenage Andy running a Silent Hill 2 fansite in 2001 that one day he'd be in the credits of an actual Silent Hill game, he'd probably be like "Cool."
