Our Goals

Here at Hog Head Productions, we want to create a high quality movie that people will enjoy.
We want to develop the film making process by using the latest technology and methods demonstrate that films can be made by anyone with a very small budget.
We want to share what we learn with you. We believe anyone should be able to produce a film, it shouldn't just be companies with a lot of money. That is why we are using free technologies and sharing our knowledge with you on our tutorial page and on YouTube channel.

The software

Blender
Mixer
Unreal engine
Metahuman creator

In the production of this movie, we have adopted the approach of using several different programs to get the best quality possible. These are all free at the time of writing and can therefore be used by anyone.

Blender

Blender is a free and open source CG technology. It has been used in movies such as Next Gen which can be found on Netflix.

Watch Next Gen trailer here.

In our movie, blender will be used to model the CGI objects such as trees, tents, etc.

Mixer

Quixel Mixer is designed to make texturing 3D objects quick and easy. It comes with a large collection of 3D scanned textures to speed up the texturing process.

We will be using mixer to quickly texture our 3D models with high quality, photorealistic textures.

Unreal Engine

Unreal engine was created to be a free game engine, but it has in recent years become useful in many different areas. This includes film making. It has been used in films and series including the Mandalorian and many more.

We are currently using Unreal Engine 5.0.0 (at the time of writing) because although it is still in early access, it has many new features which will make the film better than previous versions could have achieve.

We will be using Unreal engine for animation, composition and rendering.

Metahuman Creator

The metahuman creator is a web based software created by unreal engine. It allows you to create photorealistic metahumans (human models). It is currently in early access and you therefore need to request to use it.
