Look out Star Wars junkies, a Knights of the Old Republic fan production is coming to a YouTube screen near you I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Scott, lead 3D artist and mind behind the rapidly growing YouTube channel, Unreal Cinema. Unreal Cinema is developing a miniseries based on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic using Unreal Engine 4.

GameOnMag: So, tell me a little about yourself. Are you the one behind Unreal Cinema – is that your baby – or is it a collaboration?

Unreal Cinema: So, it is my baby. How all this started: around this time last year I heard about virtual production and Unreal Engine and all the filmmaking stuff. I'm actually a film major right now; I'm in my senior year of college. And with COVID happening, I was looking for something that I could do filmmaking with that wasn't on the ground with people, that I could just do by myself. So I kinda got into this virtual production idea.

And I have always loved Knights of the Old Republic. It's been like my absolute favorite game of all time. So, I decided I want to try to just make a trailer for Knights of the Old Republic doing this virtual production stuff. A few months ago, I started working on that and it was very, very, like, low-key. I wasn't planning on posting it anywhere.
