Sci-Fi Short Film based on Paragon Murdock, Rendered using Unreal Studio Engine

I have uploaded a new video to my Youtube Channel: This is my first short film rendered entirely in the Unreal Engine in just a few hours. I used the Murdock character from Paragon. The content was provided for Free by Epic Games. I am loving the Cinematic sequencer. I will continue to share more as I dig deeper into the Unreal Studio Engine as a storytelling and film making tool. Thank you so much @Epicgames !!  ~ Daring to Dream really big!!
