Unreal Fellowship – Get paid $10,000 to learn about Unreal Engine for four weeks
Unreal Fellowship is a new initiative that will see 50 VFX and animation professionals each paid $10,000 to learn about the use of Unreal Engine in virtual production. And the training will take place online over a four-week period starting from Monday 24 August.
This program is designed to encourage tomorrow’s studio founders and decision-makers to switch to Unreal Engine for visual effects and feature animation, in favor of traditional offline renderers and DCC tools.
The 50 successful applicants will be paid $10,000 to cover loss of earnings during a four-week period during which they will be expected to complete an estimated 94 hours of online training, plus project-based work.
Lectures will be in four weeks of online classes between Monday 24 August and Monday 21 September 2020. And the program will cover model ingestion, animation, mocap integration, look dev, lighting setups and cinematic storytelling, with weekly mentor ship meetings and guest lectures.
At Epic we have always believed in the transformative power of real-time computer graphics for film and television production,
said Epic Games CTO Kim Libreri.
With the Unreal Fellowship we are actively investing in visionaries who will be responsible for crafting the stories of tomorrow to ensure that they are armed with a deep understanding of the many ways that real-time technology can benefit their projects.
