World Suicide - Short Film by Andy Lefton

General / 05 October 2022

World Suicide is a short film that started as an experiment and quickly became a full-on project. I've done a handful of short films throughout the years working in C4D, however this has been my first attempt working with Unreal Engine.

Update: The film is finished and can be viewed below :)


In the midst of production and trying to wrap things up, I wanted to get a teaser going to help things move along ------



Coming from C4D and Redshift, I wanted to see what UE5 had to offer as it was entirely new to me, so besides the learning curve, it's been a very good experience. The film won't be flawless as I still have quite a ways to go in understanding UE and all of its glory :) If things go according to plan, I hope to have this finished before winter.

This was a mixture of my own 3D models along with some Quixel assets that helped me create this desolate world.
